Dakar has officially announced its support for former president Macky Sall's candidacy for the position of United Nations Secretary-General. This reversal comes after a meeting between the former head of state and current president Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
Senegal now supports Macky Sall's candidacy for UN Secretary-General. This change of position by Dakar is all the more noteworthy given the persistent tensions between the current government and the former president.
It was a meeting between Macky Sall and Bassirou Diomaye Faye that reportedly paved the way for this rapprochement. The Senegalese government thus decided to put forward the candidacy of its predecessor on the international stage, despite the friction that marked the political transition between the two men.
Macky Sall, who led Senegal from 2012 to 2024, is vying for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations, one of the highest diplomatic posts in the world.
