A general amnesty measure should be adopted immediately and lead to the release of Ousmane Sonko and company; The President of the Republic instructed the Minister of Justice during the previous Council of Ministers to prepare a project in this direction, which should be adopted during the Council of Ministers this Wednesday.

Beyond the people arrested on the sidelines of the demonstrations, the measure should concern older facts, notably those linked to the convictions of Karim Wade and Khalifa Sall.

President Macky Sall thus wants to give each actor the chance to participate in the national dialogue and for those who wish, in the Presidential election which has just been postponed to another date.

It is a question of confirming his already expressed wish to leave a peaceful and stable Senegal at the end of this dialogue which he wants to be inclusive.

This amnesty law will pass through Parliament and “thus mark the first step towards a cordial understanding for an inclusive dialogue”, a source tells us.

The restoration of the Walf signal is part of this desire for appeasement.
