Tensions are high between Aliou Sall, Macky Sall’s younger brother, and Mansour Faye, the brother of former First Lady, Mariéme Faye Sall. Accused of betrayal by Macky Sall’s brother-in-law, the former Mayor of Guédiawaye did not hold back in his response to the mayor of Saint-Louis. “From now on, when someone throws a stone at me, I throw back three stones, or even a bomb,” warned the former director of the CDC. He did not mince his words when expressing his feelings. “I should not even have answered, but it’s like a braying donkey. Every time he speaks, he utters utter nonsense in front of the Senegalese, with senseless, mediocre remarks… (…) It is because of Mansour Faye’s arrogance that Macky’s regime fell,” Aliou Sall insisted. He continued, “Macky’s inner circle put him in this situation (fall of the APR regime). (…) I was once morest the 3rd term… When the postponement of the presidential election was raised, I said out loud that we should not postpone the presidential election,” revealed Aliou Sall during a special interview with journalist Babacar Fall.

The two prominent figures have been engaged in a bitter feud, with accusations flying back and forth. At the center of the dispute lies a claim of treason leveled once morest Mansour Faye by Aliou Sall, who was formerly the Mayor of Guédiawaye.
Aliou Sall’s Scathing Remarks
During a recent interview with journalist Babacar Fall, Aliou Sall did not hold back in expressing his anger and frustration towards Mansour Faye. He described the current Mayor of Saint-Louis as a “braying donkey” who consistently engages in “senseless, mediocre remarks” that damage the reputation of Senegal. He went on to accuse Faye of arrogance and claimed that his actions were responsible for the decline of Macky Sall’s ruling APR regime.
Sall further alleged that Mansour Faye’s presence in Macky Sall’s inner circle led to the regime’s downfall. He highlighted his own opposition to the controversial third presidential term for Macky Sall and his vocal criticism of the postponement of the presidential election, suggesting that Faye’s influence was detrimental to the regime’s stability.
Aliou Sall’s Warning
In an apparent escalation of the feud, Aliou Sall issued a stark warning to Mansour Faye: “From now on, when someone throws a stone at me, I throw back three stones, or even a bomb.” This aggressive language underscores the depth of the animosity between the two figures. It suggests a willingness to engage in tit-for-tat retaliation, potentially further exacerbating the political tensions within Senegal.
The Background of the Feud
The exact origins of the feud between Aliou Sall and Mansour Faye remain unclear, but it appears to stem from a combination of personal and political factors. Both men are key figures within their respective families, and their positions hold significant weight in Senegalese politics. The accusations of treason, arrogance, and political maneuvering likely stem from their rivalry for influence and power within the ruling party and the government.
Potential Implications for Senegalese Politics
The ongoing dispute between Aliou Sall and Mansour Faye raises concerns regarding the stability of Senegalese politics. The bitter accusations and escalating rhetoric might further divide the ruling party and undermine public confidence in the government.

Moving Forward
The future of the feud remains uncertain. It is unclear whether the two figures will be able to resolve their differences, or if the situation will continue to escalate. The outcome might have significant implications for the political landscape of Senegal. The country’s leaders and the public will need to carefully monitor the situation and take steps to mitigate any potential threats to stability and democracy.
