Grand oral de Macky Sall à l’ONU : « Il faut reconnaître que notre candidat est bon » (Abdou Fall)
Macky Sall's major address to the United Nations continues to cause a stir in Senegalese political circles. For Abdou Fall, a former minister and keen observer of the diplomatic scene, the former head of state's performance leaves no room for doubt about his ability to aspire to the highest international positions. "We must acknowledge that our candidate is good," he asserts with conviction after the successful presentation last week. According to him, the former head of state "has a firm grasp of the subject" and knows how to clearly define his ambitions.
However, the path to the UN presidency remains fraught with obstacles, dictated by the veto power of the five permanent members of the Security Council, but Abdou Fall remains optimistic. He believes Senegal holds a trump card. Criticizing—without naming it—the new regime that decided not to support Sall's candidacy, Fall emphasizes that beyond personal ambition, it is a matter of national prestige. Seeing a Senegalese person lead the world, Fall admits, would be a source of legitimate pride and a balm for the collective ego.
In a similar vein, Abdou Fall, a guest on Sunday's "Objection" program on Sud FM, criticized this distinctly Senegalese approach to managing political human capital. According to him, Senegal suffers from a chronic inability to optimally utilize its talent once its leaders leave public office. "Macky Sall is an asset to Senegal," he insisted, emphasizing that his influence remains undiminished on the African and global stage despite his departure from the Presidential Palace on Avenue Roume.
“We don’t know how to manage our resources. When we have personalities of this quality, we rely on them. Abdou Diouf is also a resource for Senegal and President Diomaye would benefit from consulting him regularly,” he believes.
