"Honestly, the opposite would have surprised me. And today, Senegal is the laughingstock of the world " Tapped Pape Alé Niang on the phone by the editorial staff of Senego after Khalifa Sall, Mayor of Dakar, was imprisoned by judge Demba Kandji.
"Khalifa Sall: the games were already made"
The journalist informs that the judge had announced the color from the beginning of the trial. " If people remember well, right from the beginning of the trial, he did not even want to talk about the ECOWAS order. In other words, his decision corroborates his first conduct. But, it took the statement of the Attorney General who disarmed his position that does not flow from his own will . He was put before the fait accompli, that is why he played the game " he recalled.
He adds that the judge has only repeated in his legal argument the same The director of the cabinet of the President of the Republic Amar Youm.
For the columnist of Dakar Matin, " as long as the mayor of Dakar did not enjoy a freedom, the judge had to order resume the procedure. This, if only to respect the decision of the judges of ECOWAS ". "As a result" reports, "the Attorney General made a press briefing on the hearing of the Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) in the absence of Khalifa on February 27, 2017. To counter this situation, the mayor's lawyers, at the beginning of the trial, persisted before Judge Demba Kandji before writing to the court ", recalls the former speaker of Radio Sud Fm
"Karim Wade: The State Attorneys"
Regarding Karim Wade, also, he states that "the lawyers of the States were beaten in the international jurisdictions in which the case was brought.
For proof he said, ECOWAS had said no for the prohibition of exit from the territory. Ditto for the Commission on Human Rights on arbitrary detention. The Paris court and Monaco have refused to reimburse the State of Senegal. "
On this, the journalist of 2STv is very indignant about the use of justice for political purposes. "What hurts, the institution has been so weakened and laid bare. And it's dramatic for Senegal. If we know that justice is the foundation of the Society. The President of the Republic is tried in case of break-in by those same magistrates who must behave in equal dignity . "
Finally, he returned to the last outing of the President of the Republic, who created many polemics. "I will not be under any national or international pressure after ". But for Pape Alé, in making these remarks as executive power, Mack Sall directed the judiciary to take the lead by telling them not to take into account the decision of ECOWAS.
What is not of his role, he made clear. " The President of the Republic triggers the proceedings and free judges to decide in their intimate convictions ".
