The deputy of Pastef, Maimouna Bousso, reacted vividly to the events surrounding the escape of journalist and businessman Madiambal Diagne, currently targeted by an international arrest warrant. Without explicitly mentioning it, the elected representative addressed the man whom she described as a “fugitive”, denouncing an undignified attitude and calling for strong measures against impunity. “A fugitive is a coward who has abandoned courage and dignity behind him. He loses, de facto, all right to public speech. De grâce, ne venez pas nous report ses déclarations faites depuis le trou à rats where he is hiding. Respect or pity, but spare us”, a fustigé Maimouna Bousso, in a declaration without concession.. It is true that the honourable Member did not mention the name of Madiambal Diagne, a journalist and opposition figure who had fled, but in reality her remarks clearly targeted the latter.
” A fugitive is a coward. ”
