Alioune Tine : « Les discours fougueux impactent nos relations avec le FMI »
A guest on Seneweb's "Ultimatum" show, Alioune Tine, founder of the Afrikajom Center, discussed relations between Senegal and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in a context marked by debates surrounding debt, transparency, and economic governance.
According to the human rights defender, "a trust problem persists between the IMF and Senegal." This, he says, is "aggravated by certain public positions taken by the government." For him, "the Prime Minister's statements on the hidden debt were a bit heavy-handed. Fiery speeches have a significant impact on decisions."
Alioune Tine, however, points out that President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has made transparency a real obsession, an element that the IMF must integrate into its assessment of Senegalese policies. "The IMF must take Diomaye's obsession with transparency into account. We must look at the country's commitment to fighting corruption and its real efforts," the guest notes.
For him, the relationship between Senegal and the IMF must be based on consistency and mutual trust. "The authorities cannot say at will that they can do without the IMF and, at the same time, call on it. This relationship of trust must be smoothed over. Fiery speeches can be attributed to youth and lack of experience, but they have consequences," he said.
The founder of the Afrikajom Center believes the IMF must make a courageous decision in the face of social distress. "People are suffering, life is expensive. The IMF must also work to cancel the debts of African countries. This is one of the battles I have been fighting for a long time."
Alioune Tine also recalled that European countries were saved after the Second World War thanks to the Marshall Plan, a solidarity that African countries also deserve. "We are not poor countries, but we cannot fully exploit our resources. To achieve this, we must industrialize and transform our raw materials. This requires considerable resources," he emphasized.
He continued: "Senegal needs support, despite its mistakes." He then called for a balanced approach from the IMF: "Senegal needs support, even though it has made mistakes. There are palpable efforts. The IMF must recognize them and support the country in this process."

Guy Maruis est un diola con qui pense que tout se règle par la fougue et l'excès de zèle.
Qui peut me citer des employés de ce fameux AfricaJom Centre. On ne voit que lui, rien que lui avec ses positions paaka niary bor. Dans ce pays c'est vraiment le règne des imposteurs.
Chers enseignants, insistez sur le mensonge dans vos cours. Dites à vos élèves les méfaits du mensonge en prenant en exemple ( contre exemple) le cas du mensonge de Sonko sur la dette cachée et la réponse du FMI par le blocage du décaissement pour sanctionner Sonko (le Sénégal).
