After the dismissal of the trial opposing the young and radical Senegalese political leader Ousmane SONKO to the Minister of Tourism Mame Mbaye Niang, Ousmane Sonko was manhandled in the company of his lawyer Me Clédor Ciré LY by elements of the GIGN forces, smashing the window of his car . An “ugly and odious” blow too many, which has gone around the world and belittles the greatness of Senegalese democracy.
Corniche west of Dakar, a late morning like no other. Thursday, February 16, 2023. To the noise of motorcycles and cars driving slowly because of traffic jams, are added the cries of activists and other sympathizers of the Senegalese opposition leader, President of Pastef (Patriotes du Sénégal pour le travail, l ethics and fraternity). Ousmane Sonko who came from the court - for a defamation lawsuit against the Minister of Tourism Mame Mbaye Niang - is thus noisily accompanied to his residence in the Keur Gorgui housing estate on the other side of the city of Dakar on the Northern Release Route ( vdn). The procession was joyful and enthusiastic. Suddenly, it was stopped dead by elite elements of the Defense and Security Forces (Fds). These ask the opponent Sonko to get out of his car to follow them, he does not comply. The elements break one of the rear windows. The Rubicon is crossed. The opponent is arrested, his lawyer Me Ciré Clédor Ly with whom he was in the abused vehicle. The whole unusual scene was filmed live and suddenly went viral worldwide. And the contrast jumps to the eye. On one side of the police who show a badly contained zeal, useless excesses. On the other, a calm and stoic man who was not even disturbed by the shards of glass spilled on him. The ugly story repeats itself. In political communication, the specialists will speak of a coefficient of political serenity, valve of the leaders. This image refers to two strong determinants: a neurotic panic and a loss of lucidity on the side of the power camp. The Rubicon is crossed.
