The release of Pastef-Les Patriotes leader Ousmane Sonko, the main opponent of President Macky Sall, continues to be controversial both nationally and internationally. The French polemicist Éric Zemmour attributes the release of Ousmane Sonko to a possible pressure from Emmanuel Macron on the Senegalese president, Moustapha Diakhaté, former deputy of the presidential movement, corrects Zemmour and makes revelations. The French polemicist Eric Zemmour made his exit on the set of the show “Face à l’Info” of this March 09, 2021, co-hosted with the journalist Christine Kelly. He said: “According to the information I have, Macron had thought of sending the French navy”.
To Christine Kelly’s question “How can the country get out of such a crisis, could France intervene even though its links with power are being denounced?”
The polemicist Éric Zemmour replies: “According to the information I had this afternoon I was told that Macron had hesitated that he had thought of sending the French navy for a military intervention then he retracted, apparently it is he who put pressure on the president so that the opponent is immediately released. So obviously France will try to appease, hold a speech of appeasement. “
Moustapha Diakhaté qualifies Zemmour’s exit as an insult to the Senegalese people and sees him as a racist who has contempt for other races. “
According to Moustapha Diakhaté: “Éric Zemmour lies and insults Senegal. It is a lie. The deputy Ousmane Sonko has not been released. He is placed under judicial control by the Dean of judges, him alone and not by any pressure. of French President Emmanuel Macron.
The Dean of Judges did not yield to pressure from the President of the French Republic. He only applied provisions of the Senegalese penal code.
Known for its racism, its Islamophobia and its contempt for Africa and Africans, boycotted by the progressive media in France and elsewhere, it is paradoxical that Senegalese press organs are relaying the insulting and lying words of Erik Zemmour. “
Even if the former deputy of the presidential movement rejects the words of Eric Zemmour, it is clear that the historical relationship between France and its former colonies remains ambiguous. France has always had an invisible hand on African politics with the complicity of certain heads of state. This is called françafrique.
