Homosexualité : Le patron de la Gendarmerie nationale brise le silence
During the presentation of the National Gendarmerie's activity report for 2025, the High Commander and Director of Military Justice, General Martin Faye, was questioned on the issue of homosexuality, a particularly sensitive subject in Senegal. His measured response clarified the institutional stance of the security forces regarding this issue. "We have an approach based on the general application of the law," he stated, outlining his department's policy.
Impartial application of the legislation
In response to questions, General Martin Faye emphasized that the National Gendarmerie does not conduct targeted campaigns against any particular offense. According to him, the institution operates strictly within the overall framework of the law. "The Gendarmerie does not fight against any specific offense. It fights against all offenses," he stated, clarifying that acts related to homosexuality are treated in the same way as any other offense stipulated by the penal code. He also noted that, although these situations receive significant media attention, they remain relatively rare in judicial statistics.
A case-by-case approach
The High Commander emphasized that each case is examined individually, in strict accordance with established procedures. "We handle each case individually, just as we handle cases of cattle theft or other offenses," he explained, illustrating the institution's impartiality. This clarification aims to reiterate that the Gendarmerie's primary mission is the enforcement of the law without discrimination or targeting any specific social phenomenon.
This statement comes amidst the ongoing Pape Cheikh Diallo case, which continues to fuel debate and controversy across the country. The General concluded by reiterating the gendarmerie's commitment to fulfilling its security missions throughout the national territory.
