People are wandering why Ex-President Macky Sal visited Senegal and The Gambia. The answer is simple.
He is one of the contenders of the office of UN Secretary General. His endorsement by the government of his own country has been hanging in the balance. After a tumultuous welcome in Senegal and a successful rapprochement with President Diomaye Faye, the Senegalese government made a declaration of their support for Macky Sal’s bid for the post of UN Secretary General. Furthermore, in his Facebook page he has thanked the Senegalese people and President Barrow.
One could therefore read that his visit was in pursuit of his bid for the position of Secretary General of the UN. Foroyaa will find out whether President Barrow did engage him to conduct a dispute resolution exercise in the emerging border trouble with Senegal.
