Former Senegalese Prime Minister Aminata Touré addressed the country's support for Macky Sall's candidacy for UN Secretary-General in an interview with TV5 Monde. This support is surprising given Touré's past criticisms of Sall, even demanding legal action against him during his presidency. Touré now defers to the current President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s decision, describing it as wise and tolerant. She emphasized that Faye prioritized Senegal’s national interests, especially considering his own previous imprisonment under Sall’s rule. Touré explained that Faye believes in demonstrating tolerance and forgiveness by supporting Sall’s bid. The support, she argues, transcends personal grievances and political divisions, focusing on what is best for Senegal. This decision reflects Faye's intention to move beyond past conflicts for the sake of the nation.
