Abdoul Aziz Diop, a former special advisor to Senegal’s President Macky Sall, is expected to be questioned by authorities regarding recent critical statements made about Ousmane Sonko, the current President of the National Assembly, and his supporters. The Dakar prosecutor’s office has instructed the Cybercrime Division to summon Diop for questioning related to comments made during a media appearance. Sources indicate the convocation is imminent, marking an escalation in the controversy surrounding Diop’s remarks. He had been strongly critical of Sonko and members of his Pastef party during the broadcast. The prosecutor’s intervention follows public outcry over the statements. Investigators are now tasked with gathering information and obtaining Diop’s explanation for his comments.
