Former President Macky Sall calls for repeal of amnesty law to investigate 2021-2024 political events

Speaking to civil society members, he suggested that any effort to shed light on these events would require re-evaluating the current legal framework, specifically the amnesty law. Sall stated, "If people want to revisit the events, there are ways. The amnesty law must be repealed.

At that point, the cases will resurface. We will know who is who, who did what." He rejected personal responsibility for the violence and deaths, asserting that accusations against the President of the Republic are unfounded and part of a campaign against him.

He maintained that a president defending the Republic cannot be held responsible for murders, questioning if he ordered anyone to kill young people. Sall views these accusations as baseless but accepts them as part of the political game, stating he is prepared to face such aggressions. He concluded by urging the country to move past this difficult period and look to the future, noting that Senegal has overcome this painful time and should strive to advance.
