Attaque contre Mamadou Diop Decroix : Cheikh Ibrahima Niang accuse le Dr Ba de propager des "fantasmes"
The controversy surrounding Mamadou Diop Decroix's statement is escalating. Following the harsh criticism from Dr. Abdourahmane Ba, an expert in Evidence, Management and Development Strategy on Seneweb, it is now Cheikh Ibrahima Niang, head of the Ànd-Jëf North America federation, who has stepped forward to defend the intellectual and, according to him, set the record straight.
"A blatant falsehood that ruins the entire development"
In a lengthy contribution, Cheikh Ibrahima Niang directly attacks Dr. Ba's thesis that Mamadou Diop Decroix had "survived all regimes, always quick to defend the one who reigns, rarely the one who reforms".
"Your learned reply to Mamadou Diop should have taken the precaution that is taught to every academic and, even more so, to an expert in Evidence: 'to seek the truth in the facts'. You failed to do so and this has totally ruined the credibility of your contribution," Cheikh Ibrahima Niang attacks from the outset.
He continues with specific facts: “From the age of 18, Decroix openly opposed Senghor for 12 years and Diouf for 20 years. He then opposed Sall during the latter's 12 years as head of state. Adding this up obviously amounts to 44 years of struggle in the opposition, during which Decroix was expelled from university and forcibly conscripted into the army, arrested about ten times, and spent time in prison or hospitals, the most recent of which was under Macky Sall's regime.”
According to him, "a few short minutes of searching on Google would have saved the Doctor, an expert in Evidence, from this blatant falsehood that completely ruins the rest of his argument."
"What is recycled fear, moral anesthesia?"
Sheikh Ibrahima Niang also criticizes Dr. Ba's style, which he describes as "logorrhea." "Dr. Ba considers Mr. Diop Decroix's call for peace and stability as 'a masterpiece of recycled fear, a sermon to keep the people under moral anesthesia, while the PASTEF government learns to breathe in confusion.' Try to make sense of this logorrhea. What is 'recycled fear'? What is 'moral anesthesia'? 'Breathing in confusion'? The Doctor in question doesn't tell us," he quips.
He criticizes Dr. Ba for making numerous unsubstantiated claims: "Mamadou Diop Decroix's text doesn't analyze," he says. "It warns, it threatens, it instills guilt. It addresses a mature nation as if it were a restless herd, pointing out invisible enemies. However, none of these characterizations is supported by even the slightest evidence. It's all assertions and declamation."
"Is the idea of Senegal being in debt just a fantasy?"
Sheikh Ibrahima Niang also disputes the accusation that Mamadou Diop's Senegal is a fantasy rather than a reality. "Is the debt-ridden Senegal that Decroix talks about a fantasy? Are the Senegal-IMF relations a fantasy when the country will soon have to start repaying more than 15 billion CFA francs a day? Is the security threat a fantasy while jihadists in Mali are attacking right up to our borders?" he asks.
He defends Decroix's position on the expression of divergences within power: "When Mamadou Diop finds the normal and beneficial expression of differences within power for a fruitful transcendence at the expense of hypocritical silence and dissimulation, the expert in Evidence informs us that Diop Decroix does not want a Senegal that thinks, but a Senegal that contemplates."
For Cheikh Ibrahima Niang, "debating is expressing difference, revealing contradictions, and that is precisely what life is. Contradiction is the driving force of life. This is what captures Mamadou Diop's attention when he criticizes hypocrisy and dissimulation."
The head of Ànd-Jëf also questions the claim that it is the people who oppose the Diomaye-Sonko duo. "In Senegal, as far as I know, the people express themselves through elections. In the last two elections of 2024, the duo won brilliantly. First round in the presidential election and 130 out of 165 seats in the legislative elections. So why bring up value judgments in a debate of this nature instead of the obvious facts, Mr. Expert in Obviousness?" he asks.
A call for concrete analysis and for the people to choose their side
In conclusion, Cheikh Ibrahima Niang calls for greater intellectual rigor: “The Senegal of the educated must also be more focused on the concrete analysis of concrete situations. This is what allows for the emergence of fruitful debates because they are correlated to the conditions of our country's development. But this also requires a cognitive and ideological adjustment that breaks free from the constraints in which the neo-colonial school system sought to confine us.”
He concludes with a direct question: "Isn't it, above all, this adjustment that could open the doors for the intellectual to make a conscious choice of siding with the people against the corrupt oligarchy?"

On ne peut pas défendre l'indéfendable. Mamadou Diop DECROIX est un opportuniste. Un homme sans vergogne en politique. Il a longtemps surfé sur son jeune militantisme (emprisonnement et embrigadement) pour montrer se vendre. Mamadou Diop DECROIX n'est pas sérieux. Il n'a jamais été sérieux. Il le sait. Ceux qui le connaissent depuis le Prytanée militaire le savent.
Et puis, de rois doit désormais se taire. Lui, tout comme landîg abdoulaye bathily et tous les ex prétendus communistes caviar. Ça suffit !!!
Decroix dégage! Un opportuniste parasite éternel transhumant.
CE CHEIKH philosophe rèvolutionnaire fut notre maitre formateur en marxisme -leninisme et en dictature du prolétariat dans les années 73-74 !!!!
C'est dommage!!!
La jeunesse sénégalaise ignore qui est Decroix. Cet homme qui a donné sa vie au Sénégal et même à l'Afrique. Depuis sa jeunesse il ne fait que se sacrifier pour le bien du Pays
Quand on oublie les sacrifices que Mamadou Diop Decroix c'est de l'ingratitude il a beaucoup souffert pour le développement de ce pays sans rien attendre des intellectuels très égoïstes jaloux méchants sans formation politique le taxe d'opportunisme Diop Decroix mérite les honneurs de ce pays un sage un régulateur un médiateur un exemple merci beaucoup Mamadou Diop
Je soutiens mamadou Diop decroi pour sa loyauté et sa sincérité un homme engagé pour servir lSénégal
Quelqu’un qui se fait appeler Thier4 et taxe Diop decroix d’opportuniste nous apprend que tous ceux qui ont fait le prytanée militaire savent que decroix n’est pas sérieux. Il se trouve que Decroix n’a jamais fait le prytanée militaire.
Fatadio la jeunesse sénégalaise n'ignore pas qui est Mamadou Diop Decroix au contraire elle l'adore et le respecte . Decroix fait partie des rares références dont tout sénégalais peut se targuer contrairement à beaucoup de leaders aujourd'hui. La réputation de Mamadou Diop ne s'est pas faite à travers les réseaux sociaux mais après des années de lutte et de Sacrifice pour le Sénégal et pour l'Afrique
Decroix n'a pas fait le Prytanée militaire mais il a fait la guerre
Ku xaamul da ngay nopi ! Que ceux qui ne savent pas se taisent ! Decroix n'a jamais fait le prytanée militaire ! Toutes mes félicitations Professeur Cheikh Niang pour cet excellent texte qui mérite d'être lu. Tout ce que vous avez dit est pure vérité. Merci Président Mamadou Diop Decroix pour ce que vous faites pour le Sénégal et l'Afrique, votre raison de vivre, n'en déplaise à vos pourfendeurs qui ne savent rien de ce qu'ils disent. Merci et merci encore.
Ceux qui disent que Mamadou Diop Decroix n'est pas sérieux ne le connaissent vraiment pas .C'est dommage pour nous les sénégalais de ne pas profiter de son expérience au lieu de calomnierr cet homme qui a toujours été integre et loyal .
A mon avis quand Dia accuse Mamadou Diop Decroix de propager des fantasmes c'est le méconnaître ou être de mauvaise fois. Mamadou Diop Decroix est une figure emblématique de la politique au Sénégal. Il fait partie des hommes politiques les plus crédibles au Sénégal.
