Tierno Monénembo resumes column on African democracy

Author Tierno Monénembo has resumed his column, featuring a critique of the current political and semantic state of democracy in Africa. The commentary focuses on the work of Senegalese journalist Ousmane Ndiaye, who examines the perceived drift of African politics.

The text addresses the rise of demagogues and opportunists who manipulate political discourse and falsify facts. It specifically critiques intellectuals who support military coups under the guise of sovereignty or pan-Africanism, arguing that these terms have been hollowed out by populism. Furthermore, it challenges the notion held by some thinkers that democracy is an unsuitable concept for the African continent.
