Petition to Exclude Macky Sall from the Columbia Africa Conference

To: Organizers of the Columbia Africa Conference  
Date: October 25 and 26

Subject:Request to Exclude Macky Sall from  Participating 

We, the undersigned, strongly oppose the  participation of Macky Sall, former President of Senegal, in the upcoming Columbia Africa Conference on October 25-26.

Macky Sall’s administration has been documented for serious human rights violations, suppression of dissent, and undermining democratic processes in Senegal. 
Additionally, there are significant concerns regarding economic mismanagement and the manipulation of financial data. Reports indicate that Sall's government has repeatedly provided inflated economic figures to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), raising questions about the accuracy of Senegal’s financial reporting and the true state of its economy.

These actions not only jeopardize Senegal’s financial integrity but also hinder sustainable development and exacerbate poverty levels. The misrepresentation of economic data can have far-reaching consequences, affecting foreign investment and economic policy decisions that impact the lives of ordinary Senegalese citizens.

These actions contradict the values of open dialogue, human rights, and democracy that this conference seeks to uphold. Allowing President Sall to participate would compromise the integrity of the conference and imply an endorsement of leadership that represses its own citizens.

We urge the organizers to exclude Macky Sall from the conference. By doing so, you will demonstrate a commitment to justice and accountability, fostering a more meaningful dialogue about Africa’s future.

Sincerely, 

Oumoul Diallo ( Petitioner)
