It is quite symptomatic of the political, economic and social situation that has been raging in Senegal since April 2, 2024, strongly marked by a disturbing and retrograde contradiction of the Diomaye-Sonko power options. Contrary to use, I will start my remarks with a question that settles the contradiction, assimilated to a homicide in gestation, because there may be a man in the processing of justice files. This is where human inconsistency is located and the essential question is outcrop: do we want to judge men or dead?
According to the Observer on Thursday, August 28 and according to a medical source, the sudden death of Farba Ngom, businessman and great APR official, could occur at any time. Following the first medical expertise requested by the judge, it should have been given provisional freedom for health reasons. The opposite has indignant more than one Senegalese in love with justice. The recent counter-expertise carried out by three doctors is frightening: Farba Ngom can lose his life at any time. Since then, nothing has been done concretely to preserve the life of Farba Ngom, and this desire to keep a sick man in prison is not understood.
What do we really look for? Do justice or kill? If Farba Ngom dies, it will we say that justice has been done? Or do we prefer to make it posthumously? Whether he dies or lives, whatever? We don’t care! “Put 4 electronic bracelets with the feet and hands of Farba Ngom, one with the head, and another on the belt, and internal him at his house, or in the special pavilion, and under the high surveillance of the beep or the GIGN, if it is also dangerous, even seriously ill, not to say dying! »»
If it is not a sudden death, it will be a slow death, and that is what medical reports tell us in easy French. It is already too late. Any silence on this specific case and on all the other cases of Lat Diop, Abdou Nguer, Badara Gadiaga, Mansour Faye, and others, is synonymous with cowardice. If Farba Ngom dies in prison under the guilty gaze of 18 million compatriots, it will then be necessary, like a simple paper, to tear this country into millions of pieces and go to hell. At this stage of the procedure, it is no longer justice, billions stolen or not, at the start or end of political career, or even Farba Ngom, but rather a human life simply. If we cannot understand this and act nobly, in charge, in human, then we are all damned, and the whole people, starting with Bassirou Diomaye and Sonko, will be severely chastised by the one whose only agenda counts.
Politics is not war by all means, said Clausewitz. Human life is more precious than anything else, and preserving it is a sacred duty. What do we benefit from making someone suffer that the disease is already gnawing at? From Karim Wade to Ousmane Sonko via Khalifa Sall, we talked (the very mouth of the latter) of 5 -star hotels to describe the good conditions in which they were, in total respect for their life and their rights.
If Farba Ngom dies in prison, after expertise and medical expertise, it will be a vile crime that the next diet will have to elucidate above all. Let it be held to say! Take provisional freedom to Farba and all sick detainees out of respect for fundamental human rights. Where is civil society, qualified as a smoking, and the two hundred opportunistic and cowardly intellectual brothers? They surely shave the walls.
In any event, the Senegalese people watch you do it, already disappointed by the infra-human and cruel posture with which fundamental freedoms are managed by the Duomaye-Sonko duo.
