Seydina Oumar Touré : « Le Sénégal s’est toujours réinventé par le dialogue »
The Director General of the Agency for Assistance to Local Security (ASP), Seydina Oumar Touré, took a position on the national dialogue announced by the Head of State, highlighting the traditions of tolerance and consultation which, according to him, underpin the stability of Senegal.
In a statement with strong political and republican implications, he asserts that Senegal remains a strong, stable, and inspiring republic, unlike several countries in the sub-region facing political and security tensions. He attributes this uniqueness to a national consciousness built over centuries, transcending ethnic, religious, and political differences.
According to him, this legacy rests on the sacrifices of previous generations and on a culture of dialogue deeply rooted in Senegalese society. "Making dialogue a major axis of governance is not new, as it is part of the very DNA of the Senegalese Republic," he argues, recalling that this approach constitutes one of the cornerstones of living together in Senegal.
Seydina Oumar Touré believes that President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is continuing this tradition. He considers that the call for dialogue launched by the Head of State reflects a desire to govern through listening, consultation, and the pursuit of consensus.
The Director General of the ASP, however, warns against "hate speech, intolerance, subversion, resentment and violence," which he considers incompatible with the values that have allowed Senegal to go through the different stages of its history, including democratic transitions.
Advocating for a permanent, inclusive and sincere dialogue, he calls for forgiveness, overcoming differences and preserving the Senegalese spirit, which he considers the main bulwark against chaos and divisions.
