ONU : Pourquoi la candidature de Macky Sall reste « plus que jamais crédible », selon Abdou Mbow
For MP Abdou Mbow, a member of the Alliance for the Republic (APR), the candidacy of the former head of state for the post of Secretary-General of the United Nations remains "more credible and relevant than ever".
Abdou Mbow rejects the idea of a massive rejection within the African Union (AU). According to him, the obstacles encountered during the "silence procedure" are purely technical and not political. He specifies that "34 African countries are in favor of adopting the resolution," emphasizing that the opposition is in the minority.
According to the parliamentarian, the "20 African countries that objected" did so not out of hostility towards the candidate, but to challenge a "no-objection procedure that gave them only 24 hours to decide." This timeframe was deemed too short for a decision of this magnitude. Abdou Mbow also sees encouraging signs of support, noting that "two countries subsequently withdrew their objections: Liberia and Egypt."
Abdou Mbow's other argument concerns the official position of the Senegalese government. While current diplomatic efforts claim to be "not involved" in this candidacy, the MP sees this as a blatant falsehood. According to him, asserting that Senegal is not a stakeholder is "completely false."
To support his claims, he reveals a crucial piece of context: "President Macky Sall had indeed written to President Diomaye" to inform him of his approach.
Despite the turmoil in Addis Ababa, Macky Sall's close associate remains optimistic about the outcome of this international race. He points out that the bulk of the diplomatic battle is yet to come, particularly with other UN member states and especially those sitting on its Security Council. For Abdou Mbow, the momentum remains "quite encouraging for a candidate" of Macky Sall's caliber, whose continental leadership, he believes, continues to garner consensus among a majority of his peers.
