Taxawu Sénégal held its founding congress this past Sunday, drawing prominent figures from the Senegalese opposition. The event brought together key political actors including Aïssata Tall Sall, Bamba Fall, Oumar Sarr of the FDR, lawyer Elhadj Diouf, Alioune Ndoye from the Parti Socialiste, Abdoulaye Wilanne, and Doudou Wade—all united by a shared resolve to challenge the current administration.
a united opposition against the ruling power
The gathering underscored a growing momentum among opposition forces to consolidate their efforts ahead of upcoming elections. Central to the discussions was a fierce critique of the government’s handling of public affairs, with speakers highlighting the disconnect between policymakers and the daily struggles of Senegalese citizens.
Khalifa Sall’s fiery rhetoric targets the Diomaye-Sonko administration
In a bold address, Khalifa Sall, president of Taxawu Sénégal, directly confronted the leadership of Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko. The former Dakar mayor accused the regime of prioritizing self-interest over the welfare of the people, declaring, « We know they are involved in the Baara Yeego »*—a phrase that translates to a system of shadowy deals and backroom maneuvers at the highest levels of government.
a call for decisive political action
Sall vowed an organized and unyielding opposition campaign, warning that the regime would face a formidable bloc determined to remove it from power. « The Senegalese people have never endured such hardship, and they will not tolerate this any longer, » he declared, signaling a strategic shift toward electoral mobilization and collective resistance.
