Toussaint Manga, former head of Senegal’s national lottery, publicly criticized President Bassirou Diomaye Faye during a rally in Ziguinchor, alleging a marginalization of longtime activists who contributed to Faye’s 2024 election victory. Manga specifically protested recent appointments, claiming individuals not involved in the prior political struggles are being favored. He argued the current administration is treating the newly won power as belonging to a single person, dismissing the sacrifices made by dedicated militants who faced repression, arrest, and imprisonment. Since his dismissal from LONASE in July 2026, Manga has consistently voiced opposition to the government's decisions, notably contesting the nomination of Aminata Touré. Despite his criticism, Manga expressed confidence that time will reveal accountability and reiterated his ongoing commitment to serving Senegal, independent of any official position, referencing his profession as a doctor. He believes historical militants deserve greater recognition in governance.
