The exit of the affidavite and other constitutional tailor on the decision of the ECOWAS court of justice, continues to tarnish the image of a people loving justice. It also carries the chances of a future post of Secretary-General of the United Nations that may escape Senegal.
After the decision of the Court of Justice of ECOWAS, the Head of State, in a Republican greatness, had a chance to seduce national and international opinion. Macky Sall would gain esteem and model politician by freeing an opponent, and not least, less than a year of a presidential. This Court, which has only said the law, puts back the state of Senegal. The Court said: "Between the date of proclamation of the results of the legislative elections by the Constitutional Council, that is to say on August 14, 2017, and that of the lifting of its parliamentary immunity, namely November 25, 2017, the detention is arbitrary. Considering that (his) responsibility, through his police and judicial authorities, is engaged, the Court of Justice of ECOWAS condemns the State of Senegal to pay to Khalifa Sall et Cie the sum of thirty-five million (35 000 000) CFA francs as compensation. In its ruling, the Court considers that "the right to counsel, the right to the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial of the applicants have been violated". At the same time as the African Union summit was held in Mauritania, with the presence of French President Macron. A great loss of credibility for Senegal whose size of its President is more and more reduced. Today, at the diplomatic level, Senegal does not make any recipe. This was felt with his isolation in the G5 Sahel where he does not even enjoy an observer status. Although on the sidelines of the Ua summit, the French Head of State met the five G5 Sahel Presidents. An incredible opportunity for Macky Sall to strike, at the right moment, by presto the decision on him to release, without any other form of trial, the Deputy Mayor of Dakar Khalifa Ababacar Sall. The order of the Court of just is without appeal. It exposes the flaws of a trial that, from the beginning, smelt the hints of a politico-judicial combination. From then on, after Ghana's Koffi Annam and Egypt's Boutros Boutros Ghali, Africa would go down in history again. Just if he could win for a second term, his strong actions will dazzle the Western world and supporters of strong personalities who, often under the dome of lobbies, would have no trouble supporting the candidacy of a Macky Sall. So, will the Head of State go so far as to end his international career after a second term? The signals detected, since the firm decree of this high and respectable Jurisdiction, do not plead in favor of this design. And in turn, President Sall still offers ammunition to opponents whose state mistakes are piling up, make them even more furious and effervescent.
