In a significant political move, Senegal’s former President Macky Sall is set to make a brief stopover in Dakar this Friday, July 17, 2026. The visit follows his recent announcement on social media, where he confirmed plans to meet with current President Bassirou Diomaye Faye for a high-level discussion.
The upcoming encounter is expected to center on Sall’s ongoing efforts to secure the position of United Nations Secretary-General. While the meeting will be concise, the former leader has hinted at returning to Dakar in the near future to reconnect with his political base and supporters.
This visit comes at a time when Macky Sall has been actively engaged in international diplomacy. Over recent weeks, he has intensified his outreach, particularly on topics such as multilateralism and global governance. His schedule has included meetings with key diplomatic figures, including ambassadors from permanent members of the UN Security Council, as part of his campaign to gather backing for his UN candidacy.
The scheduled discussion with President Bassirou Diomaye Faye could mark a pivotal moment in Sall’s diplomatic strategy, potentially reinforcing his global campaign efforts.
