After more than two years of silence, “Mara” is back. In case people had any doubts, he is neither from Kiiraay nor from Pastef. He is in the opposition, and is calling for “the People to be given back their voice”. A clear way of calling for early elections, whether presidential or legislative. In a country lost in an unprecedented institutional duality, which finds itself at the heart of a “Mortal Kombat” between former brothers, another path could emerge to offer an embarrassment of choice. Will Senegal one day return to the heights?
