Mustapha_01 1/5/09 15:48 Page 13 2 Senegal since 2000 Rebuilding Hegemony in a Global Age TARIK DAHOU & VINCENT FOUCHER Senegal is often seen as a model of democracy in Africa. The changing character of Senegalese political life since independence has been paralleled by just as many changes in the literature about it. Initially most work tended to focus on the long history and rooted character of Senegalese democratic culture. This was essentially an urban-based political history centred on the lives of an enlightened class of évolués, African elites with a French education. In various shades, subse- quent authors described how the powerful Muslim brotherhoods functioned as mechanisms for political integration in the countryside: in exchange for agricultural services and other resources channelled to client marabouts, the party-state could count on the votes of the disciples attached to these marabouts (Copans 1980; Coulon 1981).

Saliou Ndour Université Gaston Berger 07-11/12/2008 Yaoundé, Cameroun « L’ennui avec nos hommes politiques, C’est qu’on croit faire leur caricature, Alors qu’on fait leur portrait » Jean Sennep Introduction L’espace public est une notion inventée par Kant dans un contexte de naissance de l’Europe moderne où il sied de tenir l’Etat responsable devant la société à travers le commerce des idées. Elle (cette notion) fut définie par Hannah Arendt comme relevant du domaine de l'action. Pour elle, il s’agit d’un espace de liberté de l’individu qui a la possibilité de se consacrer aux affaires publiques et qui intègre des relations d’égalité, découlant d’une expression du ravissement. C’est aussi un lieu d’interpénétration de l’individu et de la communauté ; bref une quête de sa part d'immortalité. Vulgarisée et modernisé par Habermas, celui-ci le conçoit comme un cadre ouvert à tous les citoyens qui se réunissent pour constituer une opinion publique. Elle est essentielle dans une démocratie et ne saurait être appréhendée sans l’idée de communication politique. Dans les pays d’Europe de vielles traditions démocratiques, elle a fini de faire sa mue, on ne pourrait pas, actuellement, la détacher de la publicité (au sens « de large diffusion des informations et des sujets de débats via les médias »).

The First Conference of Intellectuals of Africa and of the Diaspora organized by the African Union in collaboration with the Republic of Senegal was held at the Hotel Le Méridien, in Dakar, Senegal, from 6 to 9 October 2004. The Conference was a follow up to, and a logical extension of, the first Meeting of African Intellectuals and Personalities of Culture which took place in Dakar, Senegal, in 1996. 2. Around seven hundred (700) intellectuals and men and women of culture from Africa and its Diasporas particularly those from North, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe and the Arab world attended the Conference. The Meeting was graced by the presence of Heads of State, Heads of Government and Vice-President of the following countries: South Africa, Cape Verde, Mali, Nigeria, Uganda, Senegal and the Gambia. Also in attendance were representatives of other Member State’s Governments as well as the international organizations and organizations of the United Nations system. 3. The general theme around which the Conference was held was “Africa in the 21st Century: Integration and Renaissance”. To facilitate deliberation, this general theme was sub-divided into six (6) sub-themes, namely: - Pan-Africanism in the 21st Century; - Contribution of Intellectuals of Africa and of the Diaspora to the Strengthening of African Integration in the Global Context of the 21st Century; - Relations between Africa and its Diasporas; - The African Identity within a multi-Cultural Context; - The Place of Africa in the World; and - Africa, Science and Technology: Stakes and Prospects.

  • Senegal: 1974 - Present
    Senegal: 1974 - present Mr. Alieu Darboe* Written April 2010 Updated September 2010 Summary of events related to the use or impact of civil resistance ©2010 International Center on Nonviolent Conflict Disclaimer: Hundreds of past and present cases of nonviolent conflict exist. To make these cases more accessible, the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict (ICNC) is compiling summaries of them on an ongoing basis. Each summary aims to provide a clear perspective on the role that nonviolent civil resistance has played or is playing in a particular case. The following is authored by someone who has expertise in this particular region of the world and/or expertise in the field of nonviolent conflict. The author speaks with his/her own voice, so the conflict summary below does not necessarily reflect the views of ICNC.

He also attended ICNC’s Fletcher Summer Institute for the Advanced Study of Nonviolent Conflict in 2006 at Tufts University, Boston, MA. ©2010 International Center on Nonviolent Conflict | 1 Conflict Summary: For forty years before March 2000, Senegal was ruled by the Socialist Party (PS) of Leopold Sedar Senghor, Senegal's first president since independence on April 4, 1960, and his hand- picked successor Abdou Diouf who became president in 1981. People had been united behind this party due to the anti-colonial fervor that continued to exist a few years after independence and because Senegal was a de facto one-party democratic state.

  • Forced Begging, Aid and Children's Rights in Senegal
    Forced Begging, Aid and Children’s Rights in Senegal: Stories of Suffering and Politics of Compassion in the Promotion of Rights for the Taalibe Qur’anic School Children of Senegal and Mali Sara Elizabeth Lahti Thiam Department of Anthropology McGill University, Montreal December 2014 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © 2014 Sara Thiam To Mom and Dad Abstract Due to recently expanded definitions of human and child trafficking among transnational actors, thousands of Qur’anic students throughout Senegal, West Africa, called taalibes, who beg to support their schools, have been identified as victims of trafficking. Senegal’s generous supply-driven alms-giving draws schools of boys from throughout the region to beg. To gain financial and institutional support to promote the taalibes’ human rights, activists disseminate compassion- generating communications to transnational audiences about their exploitation at the hands of their masters. Locally in Senegal, taalibe begging is not seen as trafficking. Rather, within a discourse about Qur’anic schools as vulnerable schools, people understand their mass urban migration and begging to be an unfortunate result of severe rural poverty. Malian families that send their children to Senegal defend taalibe hardship within a pedagogy of suffering– to instill respect and discipline. Where the transnational trafficking discourse calls Qur’anic masters who make their pupils beg criminal exploiters, the local vulnerable schools discourse views them as legitimate educators. To them, they are victims of past colonial repression and a currently neglected educational system. In this thesis, I document how each of these discourses have taken form and what happens when they converge on the ground.

    IMPERIAL FRAGMENTS AND TRANSNATIONAL ACTIVISM: 1968(s) IN TUNISIA, FRANCE, AND SENEGAL A dissertation presented by Burleigh Hendrickson to The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2013 Dissertation directed by Laura L. Frader Professor of History 1 IMPERIAL FRAGMENTS AND TRANSNATIONAL ACTIVISM: 1968(s) IN TUNISIA, FRANCE, AND SENEGAL by Burleigh Hendrickson ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the College of Social Sciences & Humanities of Northeastern University December 2013 2 Abstract of Dissertation This dissertation explores the global protests of 1968 by examining three university cities—Tunis, Paris, and Dakar—that became sites of transnational activism after the collapse of the French empire. Newly independent African states in the post-1945 era invested heavily in education in hopes that indigenous talent would eventually replace European technocrats to carry out large-scale modernization projects. Rapidly growing populations of educated youth emerged at home institutions in the ex-colonies in the 1960s and maintained contact with activist circles living in the metropole. The dissertation answers the call to "provincialize Europe" by placing France's mai 68 in a global context with other related "1968s" in West and North Africa, and challenging its culturally and historiographically dominant position. I take the former French empire as a unit of anaylsis to trace transnational communication between activists in the metropole and the former colonies while also considering the context of each university to highlight the local characteristics of each movement.

  • Resolution Mettant Fin Aux Fonctions De M Macky Sall
    REPUBUQUE" DUSENE6AL ASSEMBLEE NATIONALE XIÈMR LE6ISLATURE SESSION ORDINAIRE UNIQUE 2008 - 2009 • RAPPORT FAIT AU NOM DE LA COMMISSION DES LOIS, DE LA DECENTRAUSATION, DU TRAVAIL ET DES DROITS HUMAINS SUR LE PROJET DE RESOLUTION METTANT FIN AUX FONCTIONS DE MONSIEUR MACKY SALL EN QUAUTE DE PRESIDENT DE L'ASSEMBLÉE. ,NATIONALE DU SÉNÉ6AL PAR M. SEYDOU DIOUF RAPPORTEUR 1 Monsieur le Président, Monsieur le Ministre, Mes Chers Collègues, La Commission des Lois, de la Décentralisation, du Travail et des Droits humains s'est réunie le vendredi 7 novembre 2008, dans la salle de la Commission des Finances, sous la présidence de Monsieur Aly LO, président de ladite Commission, à l'effet d'examiner le projet de résolution mettant fin aux fonctions de Monsieur Macky SALL, en qualité de Président de l'Assemblée nationale du Sénégal. Le Gouvernement était représenté par Monsieur Abdou Aziz SOW, Ministre de l'Information, des Télécommunications, des TIC, du NEPAD et des Relations avec les Institutions, entouré de ses principaux collaborateurs. Ouvrant la séance, Monsieur le Président de la Commission a souhaité la bienvenue à Monsieur le Ministre avant de demander au Rapporteur de la Commission de procéder à la lecture du projet de résolution. Il ressort de la lecture du texte soumis à l'examen des membres de la Commission que l'élan de mobilisation, l'innovation et la volonté de renouveau qui avaient caractérisé l'entame de la législature s'est brisé au bout d'une année. Il en a ainsi résulté un blocage affectant considérablement le fonctionnement régulier de notre Institution. De l'avis des initiateurs du projet de résolution, la carence de l'actuel Président de l'Assemblée nationale se manifeste par le non accomplissement de ses charges républicaines telles la présidence des séances plénières et des réunions statutaires ainsi que par la récurrence de ses absences dans les cérémonies protocolaires.
