Former minister and journalist Souleymane Jules Diop has publicly criticized national coach Pape Thiaw, questioning his technical skills and leadership of the Lions of Teranga. Diop believes Thiaw lacks the necessary experience to elevate the national team to the highest level, citing a debatable decision from a previous continental competition as evidence of his team management. He also suggests that while Senegalese players possess high-level technical qualities, their effective use on the field depends on the technical staff's ability to utilize them during matches.

This critique emerges amid intense scrutiny of the national team's performance and ongoing discussions about technical management and staff decisions within the country.

He highlighted systematic and widespread enforced disappearances, prolonged incommunicado detentions without charge or trial, torture, and the persecution of political opponents, journalists, and religious communities as central features of governance in Eritrea. Many detainees reportedly remain in prisons for years, sometimes decades, without charge or trial, and authorities refuse to disclose their fate or location. While acknowledging the release of 13 long-term detainees in December 2025, Babiker expressed concern over ongoing arbitrary and prolonged detentions and enforced disappearances, including two prominent Muslim leaders in July 2025. With the Special Rapporteur's mandate nearing its end, over thirty NGOs, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have urged the Human Rights Council to extend it.
