Former Senegalese President Macky Sall is expected in Dakar this Friday to meet with the head of state, in connection with his candidacy for the position of UN Secretary-General. A group is denouncing his visit and accusing him of having violently repressed opposition demonstrations.
Macky Sall's visit to Dakar is not without controversy. The former Senegalese president is scheduled to meet with the current Senegalese head of state on Friday, a step in his campaign to become Secretary-General of the United Nations. However, a group has chosen to publicly oppose the meeting.
This group accuses the former head of state of having ordered a severe crackdown on opposition protesters between 2021 and 2024, a period of intense political tension in Senegal that cost the lives of dozens of people.
Macky Sall's candidacy for the UN presidency thus puts his security record in the spotlight, at the very moment when he is seeking to reposition himself on the international stage.
