Senegal: Outrage Erupts Over Ex-President Macky Sall's Planned Return to Dakar | Firstpost Africa

Former Senegalese President Macky Sall is set to return to Dakar for the first time since leaving office in April 2024. The high-stakes diplomatic visit includes a scheduled courtesy call with his successor, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, to discuss Sall's ongoing campaign for United Nations Secretary-General. However, the planned return is triggering fierce public outrage across the country. Victims of political violence, activists, and opposition leaders are demanding legal accountability and justice rather than a formal diplomatic welcome, pointing to the deadly state repression of protests between 2021 and 2024. Compounding the tension, the current administration accuses Sall's regime of hiding thirteen billion dollars in national debt. Meanwhile, a dramatic political split between President Faye and House Speaker Ousmane Sonko has plunged the ruling party into a bitter internal power struggle, leaving Senegal at a critical political crossroads.
