Abdoulaye Wade responds briefly to Macky Sall’s UN candidacy
Former Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade has maintained a reserved stance regarding the political ambitions of his successor, Macky Sall. In a recent interview with journalist François Soudan at his residence in Versailles, Wade was asked about Sall’s candidacy for the position of United Nations Secretary-General, intended to succeed Antonio Guterres.
Wade provided a brief and laconic response, stating only, “It is good.” The former leader declined to engage in deeper discussions regarding current Senegalese domestic politics, including the administration led by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko.
As Wade approaches his 100th birthday, Soudan noted that the former president remains focused on writing his memoirs, documenting his observations on the evolution of Senegal and his personal history.
