According to the national secretary of the PUR youth movement, “in relation to all the events that have taken place, Sheikh Tidiane Youm has not respected the party’s orientations. Consequently, it has been requested by the Assembly to defend itself from all its national and peripheral responsibilities within the PUR. “The national leaders and the general secretaries of the PUR federations have therefore decided to set up an ad hoc committee which will lead to the holding of a General Assembly in the coming days.
