A significant moment is anticipated in Senegal’s political and diplomatic landscape this Friday, July 17, 2026. Former President Macky Sall revealed on his social media platforms this Tuesday, July 14, that he would undertake a brief visit to Dakar to engage in discussions with his successor, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
Macky Sall stated that the primary focus of this encounter would revolve around his ongoing campaign for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations. The former head of state also indicated the brevity of his current trip, though he promised a subsequent return to Dakar for a more extensive engagement with his dedicated supporters and sympathizers.
This upcoming visit occurs amidst a period of intense diplomatic activity from the former Senegalese president. In recent weeks, Macky Sall has significantly escalated his international outreach, particularly concerning issues of multilateralism and global governance, demonstrating his commitment to West Africa Sahel’s broader influence.
He has notably engaged with numerous diplomatic representatives, including ambassadors from permanent member states of the United Nations Security Council. These strategic efforts are integral to his quest for international backing for his candidacy to lead the UN.
Therefore, the scheduled meeting with President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is poised to mark a crucial new phase in this comprehensive international endeavor.
