In a firm call to action during a gathering at Dakar Arena, Ousmane Sonko, leader of the Pastef party, urged his supporters to abandon disparaging remarks and mocking nicknames directed at government officials. He stressed that such behavior undermines productive political discourse and distracts from the party’s core mission.
Addressing a large crowd of activists, the opposition figure warned against the pitfalls of inflammatory language, which he described as a calculated tactic to provoke legal repercussions. Sonko cautioned that these provocations could lead to arrests and legal troubles for party members, emphasizing the need to shift the focus toward constructive debates and policy-based discussions.
Outlining a new strategic direction for Pastef, Sonko called on his followers to prioritize groundwork by intensifying nationwide outreach. He urged them to engage deeply with communities across Senegal, reinforcing the party’s grassroots foundation. Additionally, he highlighted the importance of strengthening political and intellectual training for members to solidify Pastef’s commitment to democratic values.
