Dakar, June 23 (APS) – The newspapers received on Friday at APS devote their headlines mainly to political news, in particular by analyzing the conclusions of the political commission of the national dialogue.
Officially launched on May 31, the work of the national dialogue (June 9 to 21), boycotted by part of the opposition, was completed on Thursday and the reports of the 8 commissions sent to its coordinator Moustapha Niass, former president of the National Assembly.
Among the points of discussion of the political committee of the national dialogue are the possibility of a review of the trial of Karim Wade sentenced in 2015 to 5 years in prison for illicit enrichment, and the modification of the law to pave the way for a candidacy of the former mayor of Dakar, Khalifa Sall, in the presidential election of 2024.
The leader of Taxawu Senegal has been ineligible since his conviction for “fraud on public funds” by Senegalese courts in 2018.
”The solutions found for the eligibility of Karim Wade and Khalifa Sall, at the end of the national dialogue, pose problems for some observers. They believe that the President of the Republic, Macky Sall, has made this dialogue a bargaining chip in order to validate his 3rd candidacy for the presidential election of February 2024,” comments Le Witness.
”The dialogue is over, Senegal is listening to Macky sall”, exclaims in Une Vox Populi.
”The false notes of the dialogue”
Quoting the Political Dialogue Unit, the publication underlines that in two weeks, strong consensus has been found, including on the political issues that seem the most complex. of race, with method and rigor by the various commissions”, continues the newspaper.
AS Quotidien for its part lists ”the false notes of the national dialogue”.
”The actors did not find a consensus on the points relating to the supervisory body in charge of the elections, the accumulation of the functions of head of state and party leader, the cessation of proceedings and the release detainees and electoral forfeiture as an additional penalty”, mentions the newspaper.
In its columns, L’AS makes it known that the stakeholders in the dialogue have not exhausted the questions relating to the role and place of justice in the electoral process and the modification of article L57 of the Code. electoral.
Referring to the conclusions of the political commission for dialogue, Sud Quotidien, relays the “Yes…but” of part of civil society through the voice of Djibril Gningue, a stakeholder in the work: “Although generally satisfactory, these results are not likely to strengthen our democracy and peace”.
”Source A” for its part anticipates the difficulties of implementing the consensus reached by the participants in the dialogue, focusing particularly on the announced revision of the trial of the son of the former President of the Republic, Abdoulaye Wade.
”The F24 faced with the stutter of history”
The political commission for national dialogue has agreed to a review of the trial of Karim, convicted of illicit enrichment in 2015. However, the execution of this agreement risks taking time. Because even if the Head of State decided to respect the will of the commission, there would be a whole procedure to follow when Karim Wade had exhausted all avenues of appeal, the newspaper believes.
During this time, Le Quotidien speaks of “White Friday” by evoking the discovery of the F24 platform to circumvent the ban by the prefect of Dakar on the demonstration which it planned to organize.
The F24, a platform bringing together political parties and other movements opposed to a candidacy of Macky Sall for the presidential election of February 2024, wants white everywhere, underlines the publication.
It relays the appeal launched by the leaders of the F24 to the populations to dress in white at the time of prayer, in sign of protest and refusal of a 3rd candidacy of Macky Sall.
According to the newspaper, the declaration made by the President of the Republic on Wednesday in Paris and in which he spoke of moving towards the march of progress, towards victory in 2024, is perceived by the F24 as confirmation of its desire to run for a third term.
Bes Bi dives back into history and offers its readers a comparison between the M23 movement opposed to Abdoulaye Wade’s candidacy in 2012, and the F24 platform which is fighting 12 years later once morest Macky Sall’s presidential candidacy in 2024. .
”While he managed to roll back Wade in his constitutional bill in 2011, the M23 had still failed to prevent him from running for president. In his footsteps, 12 years later, the F24, which faces Mack Sall, comes up once morest the stutter of history,” writes the newspaper.
