Pape Alé Niang, Director General of Senegal’s RTS, has publicly defended Serigne Moustapha Sy against recent attacks on social media. Following a similar call for restraint from the mayor of Keur Massar, Niang highlighted Sy’s historical support for those facing political hardship in Senegal. He described Sy as a consistently engaged leader whose actions demonstrated unwavering support during critical times and injustices. Niang urges critics to remember Sy’s past actions and remain grateful for his consistent convictions. He emphasized the importance of remembering those who showed courage and clarity during turbulent periods and advocates for recognizing Sy’s contributions. The statement comes as debate continues over comments made by the religious leader during the Gamou festival.
