Cependant, cette manne financière est principalement dirigée vers les ménages plutôt que vers des investissements directs.

Ce que Soumaré n’a pas dit et sur quoi il était attendu, c’est ce qui lui reste encore de champ de compétence. Cela, après l’’agenciarisation’ tous azimuts qui a fini de vider le gouvernement de sa substance. Une nouvelle politique inaugurée par l’alternance consiste à créer des doublons à tous les ministères. Conséquence : ça cafouille et ça s’empiète dans tous les sens. Des ministres qui n’ont que le décret pour exister en sont réduits à inaugurer les chrysanthèmes. Les infrastructures étant partagées entre l’Anoci et l’Apix, de quelle utilité peut se prévaloir le ministre en charge de ce secteur ? La propreté de la capitale - qui polarise l’écrasante majorité de la population nationale - qu’est-ce qui reste aux ministères de l’Assainissement et du Cadre de vie ? Ce que Soumaré n’a pas, non plus, dit, c’est la manière dont il va s’y prendre pour réduire le train de vie dispendieux de l’Etat. Des institutions poussent comme des champignons, sans réelle adéquation avec les possibilités budgétaires réelles. Résultat : l’Etat brade ses actifs à tout va, les vend à tout venant et se permet de lancer des emprunts obligataires pour masquer ses dérapages. Que dire des véhicules de fonction généreusement offerts aux ministres et députés en cessation de fonction ?
DAKAR, Feb 19 (Reuters) - University students blocked a main avenue in the Senegalese capital with boulders and burning tyres on Monday to protest at what they say is neglect by the government, days ahead of presidential elections. President Abdoulaye Wade is widely expected to win a second mandate in the former French colony, the only country in West Africa not to have experienced a coup since independence, but where discontent among the country's youth is running high. Wade, who is in his 80s, swept to power in 2000 promising jobs and investment in education.
SPAIN told Senegal yesterday it could not absorb any more illegal migrants and called for a crackdown on people-smuggling "mafias" which transport thousands of Africans to its shores. Bernardino Leon, Spain's foreign minister, held urgent talks in Dakar with Senegal's president, Abdoulaye Wade, and its interior minister, Ousmane Ngom, on moves to try to stem the exodus of migrants heading for Europe.
Spain and Senegal are stepping up their cooperation on illegal immigration to the Canary Islands, with Dakar considering the possibility of jailing would-be immigrants for up to two years, the Spanish daily El Pais reported Monday. More than 100 Africans landed Monday on Tenerife, following the arrival of over 700 others in the Canary Islands and the mainland coast over the weekend. The Canaries have received more than 23,000 migrants this year, and several riots have erupted in overcrowded reception centres. Five Senegalese police officers and two diplomats are currently in the Canaries to identify immigrants for their repatriation. Large numbers of incoming migrants are thought to be Senegalese.
DAKAR, 7 September (IRIN) - So far this year, 20,000 illegal migrants have arrived in the Spanish Canary Islands from the West African coast in the hopes of eventually reaching mainland Spain. The Spanish Red Cross estimates that more than 1,000 migrants have drowned trying to reach the archipelago. Despite the risks, many young West Africans, frustrated by the limited opportunities at home and tempted by the stories of those who have made it, continue to embark on the journey. This is the second of a series of three profiles of Senegalese migrants.
DAKAR, 6 September (IRIN) - A record number of illegal migrants reached the shores of the Spanish Canary Islands last weekend. Authorities reported that between Saturday and Sunday, 1,400 migrants, mainly from West Africa, arrived in eight canoe-style fishing boats that they believe left from Mauritania. The longer and riskier maritime route to the Canaries became increasingly popular this year after the shorter route through Morocco was cut off by increased patrols. Another route from North Africa into Sicily was stymied by Italian navy patrols. The journey from Senegal to the Canaries is approximately 1,500 km and can take anywhere from five to 20 days. Upon arrival, dehydrated and exhausted, those who have made the crossing face the possibility of repatriation to their respective countries.
MADRID, June 1 — A day after agreeing to accept back hundreds of its citizens who have been streaming illegally into Spain in recent weeks, the government of Senegal suspended the agreement today, because of reports that the deportees were being mistreated by Spanish authorities, a Spanish diplomat said. According to Spanish news agencies, officials in Dakar, the capital of Senegal, said that many of the migrants who were deported from Spain on Wednesday were handcuffed by Spanish police and were tricked into believing they were being moved to other places within Spain rather than back to Senegal. The Spanish diplomat, who spoke only on the condition that he not be named because he lacks authority to comment publicly about government business, said that the Senegalese government had expressed its commitment to resolving the issue as soon as possible, so that the repatriations could resume.

DAKAR, 31 May 2006 (IRIN/PLUSNEWS)- As the Senegalese authorities crack down against illegal migrants, destination country Spain has launched a high-profile diplomatic offensive to bolster cooperation with West African leaders.“The only future for illegal migration is return - the alternative is death by drowning,” Spain’s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Bernardino Leon said on Wednesday. “Our two governments share the same humanitarian concerns.”Speaking to reporters after meeting Senegal’s President Abdoulaye Wade, the minister said Spain had agreed to help Senegal to try to keep its people at home by funding a scheme to encourage 10,000 young people to return to the countryside to take up farming.
MBOUR, 31 May 2006 (IRIN) - In this busy fishing port south of the Senegalese capital, the talk is all about the lack of fish and cash and the fortunes waiting to be made in the murky waters of illegal migration. Mbour, a bustling smelly town 80 kilometres south of Dakar, lies a bare 1,500 kilometres – just a few days’ boat-ride away - from Spain’s Canary Islands, believed to be the Atlantic ocean gateway to a life of plenty in Europe, for those who make it across the seas.The long wooden boats painted in bright blues and yellows and reds that ferry growing numbers of would-be migrants from Senegal’s beaches to the high seas, are called “Mbeukk-mi”, or wave-crashers in Woloff, and are crafted here and elsewhere along the Senegalese shoreline.
Dakar, SENEGAL - Senegal, Africa's westernmost country, has become a major new departure point for thousands of mainly young West Africans seeking a better life in Europe, an official of the International Organization for Migration said Friday. The migrants are leaving from various points along Senegal's coast, crowded into wooden fishing boats in groups of up to 60, for a perilous sea journey to Spain's Canary Islands, about 1,350 kilometers, or 840 miles, to the north, said Vijaya Souri, program officer in the organization's office here.
