Macky Sall dumps Paul Biya and joins forces with Maurice Kamto
• Macky Sall was announced at the opening ceremony of the CAN
• He missed the invitation of his Cameroonian counterpart
• Macky Sall rather followed in the footsteps of Maurice Kamto
Announced with great fanfare at the opening ceremony of the 33rd Cup d’Afrique des Nations (CAN), Macky Sall, the Senegalese president did not honor the event with his presence.
The Senegalese president has instead chosen to ally himself with Maurice Kamto, who was conspicuous by his absence at the opening ceremony.
Maurice Kamto however had an official invitation but he kindly declined the offer.
“A great football fan, the opponent Maurice Kamto also preferred to decline the invitation received by one of his friends. His presence in the stands would certainly have also posed a problem, ”revealed Jeune Afrique.
Through this invitation, we understand better that the opponent and leader of the MRC, could have been present during this event like the deputy and opponent Cabral Libii who did not hesitate to stand out during the ceremony.
However, Maurice Kamto had called on Cameroonians not to boycott this CAN, as some opposition activists wanted.
“Always attentive to the expectations of its people, the MRC stands by its side to make this competition a moment of welcome in the midst of so many trials. We do not forget any of our problems: from the illegal arrest and condemnation, mentioned above, to unfair sentences of our militants and sympathizers to the oppressive phenomenon of the high cost of living; from the worrying security situation, in particular with the civil war in the North-West and South-West regions and the deadly attacks of Boko Haram as well as the inter-community conflicts in the Far North to economic and governance, social, multifaceted political and democratic.
These problems will still be there after the CAN. There will always be time to face them after the euphoria of this singular event,
“The release of all our political prisoners remains an unconditional demand. For the moment, let us all together, without political distinction, welcome in the dignity and African hospitality of our country, foreigners from all walks of life who will visit it. May those who will be in the stadiums carry our “Indomitable Lions” to victory while maintaining fair play vis-à-vis all the other teams, so that on the evening of February 6, the best will win the trophy. continental. Welcome everyone to Cameroon, an entire continent in one country! “, continues the press release.
