During the plenary session on Wednesday devoted to the examination of the proposal for an interpretative law on the amnesty law, the deputy of the presidential motion, Amy Dia, launched an appeal to her colleagues to vote in favour of the text. According to her, his adoption constitutes a crucial step to “definitively render justice” to the victims. His speech, marked by emotion and conviction, was warmly applauded by the members of the Pastef parliamentary group, thus testifying to the intensity of the debates surrounding this reform. Amy Dia is particularly concerned by the question of amnesty. She spent 20 months in detention in the context of the so-called “Special Forces” case, a dossier that has deeply marked the Senegalese political landscape. Forte de cette expérience, she took advantage of her speaking time to vigorously denounce the opposition, accusing it of fuelling confusion and controversy around this law. While the discussions continue in the Chamber, the proposal for a law continues to divide the political class.
