Welcome for his return to Dakar: Macky Sall dampens his supporters' enthusiasm

President Macky Sall announced his return to Dakar on July 17, 2026 for consultations related to his candidacy for UN Secretary-General. He asked his supporters from the Alliance for the Republic (APR) not to organize a large mobilization due to a tight international agenda. After a meeting with President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, he will leave immediately. He promises to return later to meet his supporters and express his gratitude.
