Déclaration de Sonko sur Donald Trump : Thierno Bocoum dénonce une maladresse linguistique et controverse diplomatique
Following Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko's statement describing Donald Trump as "a man destabilizing the world," several observations are necessary, both linguistically and diplomatically.
According to Thierno Bocoum, president of AGIR-LES LEADERS, this formula used by Ousmane Sonko regarding Donald Trump first calls for an elementary correction.
"From a linguistic point of view, this expression is inappropriate. In French, the structure "homme de" applies to qualities or functions (homme de paix, homme d'État) and not to a process. The term destabilization refers to an action or an effect. It is therefore appropriate to speak, rigorously, of "factor or actor of destabilization", as is done in international relations," reacted Thierno Bocoum.
Beyond this oversimplification, the former MP believes the problem is more serious. According to him, a country's diplomacy is not conducted through personalized positions; it relies on an official line, championed by the Head of State.
"Donald Trump is not a man of peace, but it is not for a Prime Minister to say so. A state obeys rules, discipline, and consistency in its diplomatic pronouncements. Populism disregards these to construct a posture of courage, without assuming the responsibilities or having the means to act," he protested.
Thierno Bocoum believes that the political logic put forward by Ousmane Sonko in the perspective of 2029 is in tension with the governance requirements of the current five-year term.
"Bassirou Diomaye Faye is increasingly being questioned about his share of responsibility in the observed decline, linked to a governance that is too passive in the face of current challenges," he concluded.
