ANNIVERSAIRE DE L'ARRESTATION DE MAMADOU DIA : Mour Sèye souhaite qu’une grande école porte son nom pour servir de référence aux élèves de Khombole
This Thursday, December 18th, marks the anniversary of the arrest of the late Mamadou Dia on December 18, 1962, along with other members of the government such as Valdiodio Ndiaye, for attempting a coup against President Senghor. He was subsequently imprisoned for 12 years. He served as Prime Minister from 1957 to 1962 and is considered one of Senegal's greatest political figures.
According to Mour Sèye, Secretary General of Pastef/Khombole and author of the book "Ousmane Sonko, the return of the phoenix", this deserves a tribute worthy of his person.
"I address these words, which are dear to me, to His Excellency Bassirou Diomaye Faye and to the Mayor of Khombole, Magueye Boye, on this December 18th, which marks the anniversary of Mamadou Dia's arrest. To the Mayor of Khombole, since 2009, the year of Maodo's death, my only wish concerning him is that a major school bear his name to serve as a model for the students of our community. A boulevard is beautiful, but a middle or high school is more attractive and renowned. Mamadou Dia graduated at the top of his class from the William-Ponty Normal School in Gorée, which trained all the leaders of West Africa, including some of the first African heads of state, such as Félix Houphouët-Boigny of Ivory Coast and Hamani Diori of Niger."
He stressed that all of Mamadou Dia's former classmates or government colleagues are honored in their communities, such as Abdoulaye Sadji (Rufisque high school), Léopold Sédar Senghor (Joal high school), Me Valdiodio Ndiaye (Kaolack high school), among others.
Mour Sèye expressed his wish to the Head of State that the Constitution be revised in accordance with the expectations and realities of our nation. "I greatly appreciated Dean Mody Niang's remarks on constitutional reforms. This is the only guarantee of the much-discussed economic and social transformation of Senegal. When the former President of the Council, Mamadou Dia, was arrested on December 18, 1962, and later convicted, Léopold Sédar Senghor changed the Constitution, which had been tailored to suit a presidential system, in March 1963. This fundamental text is the cause of all the state abuses we have experienced since the poet-president," he stated.
For Mr. Sèye, the Senegalese who fought against Macky Sall's regime certainly want better social conditions, but also a modern state free from all external and colonialist influence, but also a state conceived by ourselves as Mamadou Dia wanted.

Tout autre considération sur ce les gens gens appellent les événements de 1962 est une manipulation de l'esprit.
