Crise à l’UCAD : La CAP de l’APR exige la démission du ministre de l’Intérieur et interpelle les universitaires
The Analysis and Foresight Unit (CAP) of the Alliance for the Republic held an emergency meeting on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. Faced with the explosive situation in universities, the structure of the former ruling party hardened its tone, demanding radical measures after the death of student Abdoulaye Ba.
Paying tribute to the memory of the medical student whose autopsy revealed "circumstances of extreme violence," the CAP (Committee for the Prevention of Violence) strongly condemns the repression within the student union campus. Denouncing a flagrant violation of the law on university autonomy, the group believes that the Minister of the Interior must "assume his responsibilities and face all the consequences." As such, the APR (Alliance for the Republic) demands his "immediate resignation."
For the CAP (Confederation of Students and Pupils), two years after coming to power, the current regime is "struggling to provide structural solutions" to the problems plaguing higher education. The statement criticizes government communication deemed "inappropriate and disconnected from the seriousness of the situation," regretting that the response to students' social demands has been an "excessive or disproportionate use of force." Furthermore, the CAP expresses its full support for the Collective of Student Associations and strongly condemns their suspension by the academic authorities.
The most politically charged point of the statement concerns the appeal to the Collective of Academics for Democracy. The CAP (Coordination of Academics for Democracy) formally invites these academics, who were very active between 2021 and 2024, to break their silence. It believes that the responsibility of intellectuals is to inform public debate and to "stand with the People" in the face of attacks on the principles of the rule of law.
