Les réparations ne remplacent pas la puissance africaine. Reconnaissance et compensation restaurent la dignité, mais sans renverser la dépendance. L’Afrique a besoin d’institutions qui transforment la mémoire en souveraineté.

Does the Eni study protocol touch Yakaar–Teranga or not?
The Ministry says no: Yakaar–Teranga is in SN08M. Former PETROSEN leadership contests the mapping. The answer is not a communiqué—it is the final legal map, coordinates and protocol annexes.

Senegal has raised fuel prices for the first time since December, moving from broad subsidy absorption toward partial price pass-through.
The measure is not just about fuel. It is the first concrete test of fiscal discipline before the IMF’s new mission.
