The Ministry of African Integration and Foreign Affairs (MIAAE) published a communiqué on Thursday expressing its opposition to a joint initiative of the Embassy of the Netherlands in Dakar and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. According to the text, the two institutions envisage organizing, in the premises of the HCDH Regional Office in Dakar, a film screening followed by debates on LGBTQI issues. In its declaration, the Ministry affirms that it has been informed of this initiative and firmly recalls that “the activities carried out by diplomatic and consular missions, international organizations and non-governmental organizations on Senegalese territory must imperatively remain in conformity with the laws and regulations in force in the country and respect the In this context, the European Union is particularly concerned about the situation in the Middle East. I’m not sure. The Government also reiterates its firm position on the subject. “Le Sénégal n’accepte aucune forme de propagande et de promotion du phénomène LGBTQI sur son territoire”, souligne le ministère, précisant que “this position has been clearly and repeatedly expressed by the highest authorities of the country. I’m not sure. In conclusion, the Ministry warned: “The Government reserves the right to take all appropriate measures against the eventual organizers of such activities and even against the participants, whatever their origins, status or rank, in accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force. ”
