SENEGAL – Stefane Kabou, artist to political leader of the Movement Sovereign Senegal (MSS)
In Senegal, the line between culture and politics is often very thin, and Stefane Kabou understood it perfectly. He perfectly embodies this symbiosis. Born in Dakar, he first made his weapons as a cultural actor. But, for some years now, he seems to have understood that the true strength of the African states must lie in his actions, by the way sovereignists, to get out of western oppression by giving the possibility to the Africans to take charge, without a western babysitting. Africa, an aggregate of disunited peoples, must become a living reality, this is in a few words the ambition of this movement.
Stefane Kabou on the political scene
Like a river following its normal course, Stefane Kabou came naturally to politics. For many years, it has multiplied actions in favor of the most disadvantaged and fought against incivism through extensive awareness campaigns, Not without being despised by some of his compatriots and ridiculed by more than one. In a concern for social justice and exasperated to see that Africa in general, and particularly Senegal can not take charge, he launched into politics. He wants to become an essential figure in the Senegalese political landscape, thanks to his movement, the “Mouvement Sénégal Souverain” in short (MSS).
Why the MSS?
At the beginning, the name of the “Mouvement Sénégal Souverain” was “NATANGUÉ”, which means in Wolof hope. The leader, Stefane Kabou, had as his goal, as it can be read on his Facebook page, to create: “a movement based on solidarity and mutual assistance” that proposes that “solidarity, dialogue, peace are at the center of the debates.” But this name has evolved into a more global form to become the MSS, a political and social movement that advocates for genuine social justice and national independence in African countries, particularly Senegal. Let us point out that this movement does not deny the reasons why it was created. Stefane Kabou, seeing the desolation of the most disadvantaged strata, the almost militant contempt of successive governments at the head of the Senegalese state, decided to launch into politics in order to act directly on the causes of the problems that are undermining the country.
Stefane Kabou, a freedom-loving sovereignist
By founding the “Mouvement Sénégal Souverain”, Stefane Kabou has given new life to his struggle and a certain dynamic to Senegalese politics. The MSS does not merely denounce the dysfunctions of political regimes, it proposes an alternative vision for the country. The Movement advocates total economic and political sovereignty of the country, highlighting the need to diversify the Senegalese economy and establish transparent governance. His words are clear: “Senegal must free itself from all external interference in order to finally control its own destiny.” What could be more normal?
The MSS, against injustice and for transparency
Stefane Kabou stands out in his actions, both on social networks and on the streets of Senegal, for his commitment against impunity, against poverty, against incivism. He does not take lightly to openly denounce what he perceives as abuse of power, while calling in a spirit of peace the parties to the negotiations, as was the case during the last elections in Senegal. This peace-loving man has always called for an end to the violence and injustice suffered by many Senegalese. For him, the struggle for national sovereignty also involves the restoration of justice and the rule of law.
Stefane Kabou, a visionary leader
The career of Stefane Kabou, from his beginnings in Kaolack to his rise on the national political scene, testifies to his determination to influence the future, the course of politics in Senegal. Through the MSS, this emblematic leader positions himself as a key player of the new generation of Senegalese leaders, ready to redefine the rules of the political game for a fairer and more sovereign future. Stefane Kabou is a visionary, a man whose commitment could well shape the future of Senegal. Under the impetus of the “Mouvement Sénégal Souverain”, Stefane Kabou is on his way to becoming an indispensable force in public debate, embodying the hope for a political renewal for many Senegalese.

SENEGAL – Harassment, food tampering, communication ban: the Diomaye Coalition President alert on the conditions of detention of his candidate
The Diomaye Coalition President warns about the conditions of detention of candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye. The members of the said coalition inform that his visiting days have been changed and he can only receive visits on Tuesdays and Wednesdays within the Court. He is also prohibited from telephone communications. The Diomaye Président coalition denounces this relentlessness against its candidate and holds the regime responsible for any attack on the physical or moral integrity of their candidate.
“Following the official launch of the Diomaye President Coalition and the massive adhesions of opposition leaders, it was expected that the government in power would reinstate the candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye in his rights, particularly in the context of a presidential election of which he is undoubtedly the favourite,” reads a statement.
However, the Coalition announces that the Prison Administration, under the responsibility of the Minister of Justice, has decided to unilaterally and without justification tighten the conditions of detention of candidate Bassirou Diomaye FAYE by:
“A unilateral modification of his visiting days now, the candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye can only receive visits on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and this within the Court itself. A ban on telephone communications under the pretext that the favorite candidate in the presidential election whose campaign begins in two days has conversations whose purpose is political. A continuous harassment of the room of the candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye is now searched at every turn.”
Moreover, she notes a «lack of security measures despite her status as a candidate in the presidential election of February 25, 2024 and multiple alerts on probable alterations of the food served to her. Candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye no longer has breakfast.”
The Diomaye President coalition denounces this relentlessness against its candidate. “We strongly denounce this umpteenth violation of the principle of equality between candidates in the presidential election of February 25, 2024. We call for the immediate release of Bassirou Diomaye Faye to actively participate in the election campaign.”
In any case, she stresses, «the State of Senegal has the responsibility to ensure its protection if it unjustly decides to maintain it in the bonds of detention».
In short, the Diomaye Coalition President indicates that «Macky Sall, Aissata Tall Sall and Amadou Ba will be held responsible for any attack on the physical or moral integrity of the candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye».
