Affaire Abdoulaye Ba : La Justice au banc des accusés, l'exécutif sous le feu des critiques (Par Meleye Seck)
The shockwave caused by the tragic death of student Abdoulaye Ba shows no signs of abating. At the heart of the turmoil, the Public Prosecutor has become the focus of unprecedented public anger. Under the current Pastef regime, the judicial system appears, once again, to be sacrificed on the altar of executive interests. Between manipulative strategies and evasive tactics, the breakdown in relations between citizens and their justice system now seems complete.
In any healthy democracy, justice must not only be served; it must be understandable and respected. The Prosecutor's word, a pillar of public transparency, should enlighten and reassure. Yet, it is clear that the opportunity to restore the prestige of an institution often mistreated has been missed.
The official version of events presented by the Public Prosecutor's Office regarding Abdoulaye Ba's death clashes sharply with the reality on the ground: damning testimonies and medical examinations paint a completely different picture. For a large segment of the public, the verdict is clear: communication has become political, and the truth has been disregarded. And when trust is broken, the entire edifice of the Republic falters.
Faced with this crisis, the tone has hardened. The assessment is bleak: between the precarious situation of civil servants, the hospital crisis, and the tragedies on university campuses, a feeling of abandonment is widespread. The absence and silence of the highest levels of government have left a void that the current administration seems unable to fill. It is futile to demand the resignation of an apathetic and unresponsive president; it is the entire government that must now be held accountable.
The Builders Alliance and the Yokkute Askanwi coalition also point the finger at the Prime Minister. As the nation's foundations crumble, the head of government is accused of prioritizing his political tours and personal image over national emergencies, sometimes even defying his own superiors.
In a state governed by the rule of law, the people's representatives should have already taken advantage of the power of the motion of censure. It is time to stop painting the facade of a crumbling house and finally respond to the tears of families and the despair of the unemployed.
