Getting rid of the inherited political system is a modern necessity Written by / Islamic thinker Professor Muhammad Galay Anjay - Director of the Islamic Mihrab Institute - Brussels

There is no doubt that the failed dictator Macky Sall, who has been condemned by conspiracy, cunning, deceit and treachery, since he came to power in 2012 AD, does not deserve to be applauded at all, nor to have strings played in praise of a political position he took under severe pressure from the people and under international institutional constraints erected before him. There is no escaping or escape from it. This position is what he declared in his speech addressed to the Senegalese people on July 03, 2023 AD, that he withdrew and waived his candidacy for the 2024 presidential elections, knowing that he has the legal right to do so, as he claims. The president, with great regret, did not adopt this position out of free will and kindness, but was forced to do so, as we will show. From this standpoint, it is imperative for us, from one angle, to consciously read this coercive and forced position, by linking it to the previous political positions that he took to disqualify and exclude every political opponent of value and stature who enjoys wide popularity among the Senegalese people, and from another angle, we also link it to the political future of the opposition leader Osman Sonko, head of the Senegalese party. Bastev, who - it must be mentioned here - owes the greatest credit for what he did in educating a large segment of the people and enlightening their minds until they were able to put pressure on President Sal and force him to disavow him from running for an illegitimate third term in the elections to be held in 2024 AD. How can a sane person rejoice at the behavior of a ruler or a president who has a historical record full of blood and full of heinous crimes! His presidency was stained with the blood of many innocent people, during which nearly a thousand or more were imprisoned on false and fabricated charges against them unjustly and aggressively! Not to mention the types of torture and abuse that some of these prisoners received out of spite and anger. Added to all this are many negative things, including: his deliberate and planned change of the national line-up in all state agencies in positions and jobs to consolidate his rule and establish his alleged kingdom using the so-and-so race to which he belongs! Among them is also the theft and plundering of state funds and the deduction of its lands, in which countless reports came from specialized authorities condemning it! All of this prompts us to stand before his failure to run for a third term, pending an objective and scientific analysis. There is no doubt that we will avoid the correct analysis that can lead us to correct and realistic results if we isolate this political position - which is political in every sense of the word - from the rest of the events and positions that preceded it. An in-depth and objective reading of the National Dialogue - (which we consider to be a farce and a mockery of dialogue) - which President Macky Sall called for before he withdrew from running for a third term provides very important data for every conscious observer of what is happening on the political scene since Senegal gained its independence in 1960. When the cunning president was gathered and called in the “Dar al-Nadwa” i.e. the presidential palace, only those who spent all their lives feeding on the blood of the people by looting their money and embezzling their property and wealth responded to him. It is inevitable to get rid of it permanently in 2024 AD. Based on the foregoing, the people, especially the youth, must be aware that the struggle alongside Leader Sonko is not to get rid of a man, but rather to get rid of a system, which is the inherited corrupt system that was and still is the main reason why Senegal, and even Africa, fell behind in the countries that I knew progress and sophistication. In fact, getting rid of this system is not a difficult or problematic thing that is shrouded in ambiguity in all or in some of its aspects, because its owners are known by their names and notables, and they are the group that responded to the president's invitation to attend the "national dialogue", a dialogue whose main and last goal was to reject The winds of change blown by Leader Sonko into the people's entity spread through all of their limbs. Those who answered the president's call are a corrupt and vile group that toils and strives day and night in order to preserve this regime whose corruption has become evident and its invalidity, futility and benefit to the Senegalese people have become crystal clear. Therefore, it is imperative for the people and the youth in particular to form one front, and not accept that Macky Sall and his gang of politicians block the door in their face to prevent the desired winds of change from blowing and spreading in Senegal, and throughout Africa. Therefore, we go back to reaffirm that the struggle of the people is to get rid of this corrupt system that was adopted by this filthy group that sucked the blood of the people and found its sweetness and pleasure to prevent them from abandoning it and being patient in tasting it. It is not lost on the minds of the people and the youth, especially that the next stage is greater, in fact even greater because it carries with it huge challenges imposed on them by this political position that harbors more than it reveals. and planning, fraud, treachery, treachery, decadent and despicable political tactics against its own people for the sake of purely selfish and factional interests. And those who make the record also is that this corrupt and corrupt class of politicians was not their main obsession, that is, their first and last goal when they met in the “Dar Al-Nadwa” that is, in the presidential palace, except for intrigue and conspiracy against one man, Osman Sonko, and it was difficult for her to exclude him from the political arena so as not to He will be able to run in the presidential elections in 2024 AD.
We now turn to the charge against the opposition leader Osman Sonko, that is, the charge of "corrupting the youth" in his case with the masseuse Aji Sar, who accused him of sexual assault and intimidation with a gun. In fact, it is a funny and sad accusation at the same time. It is funny if we look at the case from the angle of how it began and how it ended. We find that the seriousness, enormity, and even heinousness of the accusations attached to him are like those who lie in wait to prey on a camel or an elephant and rob a mouse or a cat! This accusation, in fact, takes us back into the depths of history, where we find that it is the same charge that was thrown on the shoulders of the Athenian philosopher "Socrates", who was guiding young people, opening their eyes and sharpening their minds. He awakens their consciences, so instead of honoring his deed and glorifying his work, and even being proud of his idealism, he was condemned and denounced for his action, as if it is the custom in decadent societies devoid of virtues in which immorality, corruption, and the dictatorship of one opinion spread to condemn everyone who rushed to educate young people and awaken them from their deep slumber! It is no crime that looking at the issue from this angle we find it very sad. Accordingly, we realize that what was agreed upon and programmed in the “Dar Al-Nadwa” on the back of the people is a heinous political coup against the will of this people, and its conclusion: Everyone is fit to run in the 2024 elections except Sonko, because he is the hated and hated radical oppositionist who refused to betray his people, betray them and negotiate. On his back! Accordingly, it is imperative to close the door in front of him, isolate him completely, and tarnish his name so that in the eyes of everyone or everyone, he becomes that charlatan and agent of evil who came to corrupt Senegal! Chief Sonko represents cholera, AIDS, influenza and covid-19 in the interests of this class of politicians. From another perspective, President Macky Sall's obsession is playing with a fiery card that is unequivocally liable to bring about civil war or great corruption, as if he were saying: Since you, mean Sonko, prevented me from running under the intense pressure that I was the cause of, then out of revenge I will close the door On your face, that is a policy (And We wrote for them in it that a life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and retribution wounds) [Al-Ma’idah: 45], misplaced! Perhaps President Sall missed or forgot that the people who stood as one man and prevented his candidacy and pressured him until he withdrew are the same people who will prevent him by aborting his conspiracies and political tactics before they get worse. He is not afraid that nothing can stop the march of a conscious people who paved the way for the revolution, as they blow up the mountains, level the earth, and sweep away everything in its path. It is not a matter of arguing that rulers and presidents have authority granted to them by the King, the Judge, may He be glorified in His glory. However, we consider that the true authority that we consider to be a kind divine gift is that which God has deposited in the entities of peoples - not in the hands of rulers and sultans - that God Almighty activates when He wills, and with whoever He wills, just as He did it with God’s Prophet Abraham and the tyrant king Nimrod, and likewise with His Prophet Moses and the Pharaoh of Egypt, and the examples are undoubtedly too many to list. Hajj Ibrahim Nias Al-Kolkhi of Senegalese (1900-1975 AD) was aware of this gentle power placed in the hands of the peoples, when he said in 1959 AD, that is, before many countries in Black Africa gained their independence:“The peoples are stronger than the governments.” . [See his historic speech in response to the Archbishop of Dakar in 1959 AD under the title: “Africa to the Africans “The peoples are stronger than the governments.” . . In this same vein, the Tunisian poet Abu al-Qasim al-Shabi (d. 1934 AD) yelled:
If one day the people wanted life, then fate must respond.
The night must pass, and the shackle must be broken.
We do not doubt that the leader, Othman Sonko, and the people will have victory, victory, and victory, God willing, over the people of the system that has been denounced by conspiracy, plot, deceit, and treachery. The immediate political situation makes Sonko not only the "Socrates" of his time, but also the muse of the Pharaoh of Senegal and "Jesus" of the traitors in the "Yewwi Askan wi" alliance. Sonko's recent historical speech on the day of Arafat last revealed all the mysteries of the system, as he exposed its people and their intentions in front of the public, which makes us discern from the life of this great man that he is of rare metal and an exceptional model, because the greater the calamity on him and the greater the political dilemma he faces His enemies are trying to push him into it, and he finds a miraculous way out and a successful path from where no one realizes! As if his star shines with adversity and persecution, that is the biography of the geniuses and the greats of history. I did not find among the politicians from Beni Jedda who Evri Freih. He is indeed a marvel in the Senegalese political arena, a headache and a headache in the head of Macky Sall, and his intractable riddle that he has not yet succeeded in solving.
Convicting the opposition figure, Sonko, of imprisonment for two years, on a new charge that is completely new and unrelated to the serious initial charges attached to him. It is not without questions being hidden behind it and analyzes being presented around which all deserve to stand for a while. Conscious followers do not forget that the failed dictator Macky Sall aimed to condemn Sonko to prevent him from running until the arena vacated him, so he ran for an illegitimate third term with competitors who he knew for certain that they were not qualified for him, so he defeated them and crushed them without much effort. In other words, the president wanted to choose competitors for himself in the presidential race, instead of letting the democratic game go on at its usual and natural pace. And let's not forget that one of Macky Sall's previous statements was that he would "reduce the opposition to its simplest expression." Up to this stage of probing and analysis, we cannot isolate another analysis that has weight, which is that the two parties (PDS) and (PS) are the ones who, we believe, incited President Sall to condemn and exclude the ambitious and promising young man, Osman Sonko, from the presidential race, so that the desired goal is Putting all the contestants for the presidency (we mean Karim Wade, Khalifa Sal and Othman Sonko) in one position, as these three courts have ruled that they have been convicted so that it is impossible for all of them to run, then President Mackie remains the only one who controls the future of the three opponents who he feared and feared to fight with them. The question that arises urgently here is what is the point of making the three contestants in one situation? Our humble analysis leads us to the fact that this is the work of the aforementioned parties, with the agreement of course with the interests of President Macky Sall. This is because the two parties have an undoubted certainty that Sonko is the one with great popularity, strength, and strength, so that if he was prevented from running,His supporters will stage violent protests, as happened in the month of March 2021 AD, and then it is inevitable that his political rights to run will be restored to him, because that is the will of the people and the people will not accept compromise in that, rather they will not deviate from that even an inch. Without Sonko’s participation, he cannot imagine organizing Elections in Senegal in 2024 AD. And when Sonko is restored to his rights so that he is fit to run, this puts Macky Sall in a very critical situation in which he faces a wall that cannot be climbed, so he is forced to return the rights to both Mr. Karim Wade and Mr. Khalifa Sall. This is the "conspiracy of the age" that was plotted against the people, and part of it was hatched by the two parties against the president! The issue, then, is not one plot that they all agreed upon, but rather plots within plots, many times against the people, and other times against each other. The only leader who refused to enter into the arena of conspiracies is the leader Sonko, who has so far remained consistent with his views and adherents to his principles, he did not deviate from them and did not compromise on them. All of this puts the people in a comfortable position to cause a rupture or divorce with the inherited political system irrevocably. It is worth noting here that the rest of the political leaders who did not enter into the "national dialogue" clique or the despicable conspiracies, if some of them were characterized by integrity in their statements and behaviors and adhered to their principles and opinions, then the conspiracies plotted against the people did not take them into account and did not care about their existence, perhaps the reason is due to the belief The interlocutors conspiring that these do not pose a threat at all to the ruling party, and rather to the two parties (PDS) and (PS) due to their light weight in the political map.
In this regard, we cannot fail to point out that President Macky Sall, if his intentions were really good and he wanted good, stability and peace for this country and its people, he would not have confirmed repeatedly in his speech on July 3 that he would pursue what he called "fossoyeurs" who, in his belief, are enemies. Senegal, and that he will prosecute them as individuals and groups, adding that this will be his preoccupation for the rest of his stay in the presidency! He also stressed that he would make sure with all his might to implement all judicial rulings issued by the courts! If his intention was good, he would have released all political detainees unconditionally and played the card of calm and peace, knowing that there are only a few months left for him to step down from the presidency. Let the president know that the people are conscious, waiting for him and standing on the lookout for him. They are a great and balanced people that only move at the right time. And the indisputable truth is that the broad base of the people has shown its will and installed its leader in its brains before the time comes, because it has seen in the political opposition Osman Sonko a paradise of bliss starting from the year 2024 AD and in the people of the system hell, and that is since the year 1960 AD, and the intelligent person does not sell Light in the dark. Whatever is said, we know that Sonko remains just a promise or a dream, but we hope with all our hearts that it will be accomplished and achieved in the near future, due to the aspirations and hopes related to it of a people mired in abject poverty and outrageous backwardness that politicians played with for a long time, so it is time to leave the inherited political system and its people.
In the end, it is worth noting or affirming that Sonko is more deserving than other political opponents of the presidency of the state in the year 2024 AD, and that is due to his valiant stances that did not know weakness, softness, or weakness. All the opponents who preceded him and played the "Republican" card (républicain) and respecting the laws were arrested, imprisoned and prevented from running! This is what Mackie did not succeed in with the seasoned leader Sonko, since from the first moment the latter took a radical and courageous stand with the regime and categorically refused to be a prey that could be easily devoured, as he did with his predecessors (Karim Wade and Khalifa Sall). If Sonko had been naively led and immersed himself in the game of respecting and submitting to the laws and appearing in the guise of a "republican", his fate would have been different from the one we are witnessing at the present time with such popularity and as an insurmountable obstacle to the dictatorship of Macky Sall. Sonko bravely defied the regime and was fortunate to have the people on his side, unprecedented in Senegalese political history as a whole. If there was a feature that distinguished Sonko from other political opponents who preceded him, it was his rare courage, and his accurate and deep knowledge of his archenemy, who is Macky Sal. It also seems to us that Sonko is the unique political opposition whose proposed political program is evident in the minds of a large segment of Senegalese, educated and uncultured. In addition to that, the books he wrote in this regard, as well as the publications of Crystal in which he crystallized some of his basic views on how to rationalize and exploit the precious raw materials that line the soil of Senegal, and how to conclude fair and balanced deals with countries that want to exploit them so that the largest beneficiary is Senegal. Sonko sold a dream, and the people received it in a state of awakening, and he turned this dream into a living reality
