There will be no amnesty law for crimes related to the March 2021 protests until February 2024.
The amnesty bill which was to be presented yesterday to the Council of Ministers before landing in the National Assembly, is no longer on the agenda. In fact, the project is stillborn! Pattern ? In reality, according to Le Quotidien, the reactions in public and in private, from members of the majority, overcame the wishes of the President of the Republic.

Macky Sall was forced to abandon the idea. The leader of the Coalition Benno bokk yaakaar was convinced by the members of his camp of the “mistake” he was going to make.
It should be remembered that the project was passed on Wednesday of last week in the Council of Ministers. But several members of the government did not approve it, and even opposed it firmly. The Head of State allowed himself a week of reflection, with the secret desire to be able to overcome the reluctance of his camp.

But the bronca that she raised across the country, completed showing Macky Sall the difficult hurdle that he was going to have to overcome by persisting in his project. Some of his closest collaborators made known to him their clear opposition to the idea of amnesting certain crimes. And in the event that he had persisted, some ministers had even come to terms with the idea of putting their resignation in the balance to make him change his mind. Having felt all this, President Macky Sall did not even mention the project in yesterday’s Council of Ministers.
It also seems that the latest outings of Pierre Goudiaby Atepa and Alioune Tine, announcing respectively the desire for consultation of the two parties and the release from prison of Ousmane Sonko, were not to the taste of certain members of Benno bokk yaakaar. Who have not understood that we can “sacrifice those who were at the front once morest Ousmane Sonko, in addition to reinforcing the defenders of the thesis of political detainees”.

The abandonment of this amnesty bill will necessarily have consequences on the dialogue desired by Macky Sall.
