Professor Abd al-Rahman Tayam, Head of the Department of Political Science at Okad University: “If F24 speaks with the same trumpet, only history stutters”

“The uses of diplomatic networks for the purposes of political conflicts have already been noted in the political history of Senegal. We recall the date of October 21, 1998 when President Abdou Diouf, then the first head of state in francophone Africa speaking before the deputies of the French National Assembly headed by Mr. Laurent Fabius, was attacked by During the mobilization of the Senegalese opposition in front of the Bourbon Palace to denounce the practices of his regime.This was followed by a tour of Western chancellorships.The March 23 Movement repeated this position against President Abdoulaye Wade when the issue of the third term was discussed in 2011. Today, if the Movement 24 is shouting the same trumpet, history will Only he stammers. How can the public view this F24 strategy? First, it must be said that this approach is understandable, because of its prohibitions, the reasons for its mobilization, and the limitations of its mobilization strategies. Therefore, positions on the strategy adopted by the F24 movement cannot be shared. Except in light of the current political formation, some may legitimize this strategy in terms of adherence to a just cause, while others may see it differently, due to the externalization of the struggle that sheds light on the limits of this program in its struggle at the national level.
