“Sonko Must Be Eliminated”: After Pastef’s Response, Ndoffène Diouf Hits Back

Arona Coumba Ndoffène Diouf, a member of Kiiraay – Les Patriotes républicains, rejects the Pastef National Political Bureau’s accusation that he called for a plot to physically eliminate Ousmane Sonko. He says his call to “stop” Sonko referred only to political and democratic action, not violence or an attack on Sonko’s physical integrity. Diouf says he sought to encourage civic mobilization and electoral competition ahead of the next legislative and municipal elections. He urges Pastef to present his remarks in their proper context and reiterates his commitment to democratic debate and social peace.
