ONU : Mamadou Ndoye dit non à un soutien du Sénégal à Macky Sall
Mamadou Ndoye, former Secretary General of the Democratic League and former Minister of National Education, was a guest on the "Grand Jury" program this Sunday, March 1st. When asked about the possibility of Senegal supporting former President Macky Sall for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations, he clearly expressed his disagreement.
While acknowledging that the appointment of a Senegalese to head the UN would be a source of national pride, Mamadou Ndoye believes Macky Sall is not the right choice. "If I had to put a Senegalese person in charge of the United Nations, would it be Macky Sall? I would say no," he stated definitively.
The former minister justifies his position by citing the record of the former head of state's final days in office. According to him, Macky Sall left power "in a very, very bad way," with a governance marked by repression and the erosion of democratic gains. "He called into question the right to protest, the right to freedom of expression. The repression led to deaths and imprisonments on an exceptional scale," he denounced.
Mamadou Ndoye also believes that this image would negatively impact Senegal internationally. "This tarnished image cannot be used to make him a Secretary-General of the United Nations. It's not good for Senegal," he insisted.
Regarding the global context, he argues for strong leadership at the head of the UN, in an international environment he considers particularly tense. "It is not at a time when supremacist and neo-fascist forces are seeking to discredit the United Nations that we will put such a weak secretary-general in place," he warned, calling for a figure capable of resisting pressure, particularly within the Security Council.
When finally questioned about the possibility of legal action against Macky Sall, Mamadou Ndoye remained reserved, while pointing to the lack of investigations into political violence. "I don't understand how, with the executive and legislative branches, we can't conduct the necessary investigations to uncover the truth," he stated.
For him, beyond the personal debates, the new authorities were expected to bring about a real break with the past. "What we were expecting was a new dynamic, a cultural and practical shift," concluded the former LD leader.
