The African Patriots of Senegal for Work, Ethics and Fraternity (French: Patriotes africains du Sénégal pour le travail, l'éthique et la fraternité; PASTEF), or just Patriots of Senegal (French: Patriotes du Sénégal), is a Senegalese political party founded in 2014 by Ousmane Sonko.[2]
The party was banned by the Ministry of Interior and Public Security in 2023 after being accused of "frequently calling on its supporters to insurrectional movements, which has led to serious consequences, including loss of life, many wounded, as well as acts of looting of public and private property."[3][4] The party announced it would appeal the decision both to the Court of Cassation and to the Court of Justice of ECOWAS.[5]
In the 2024 Senegalese presidential election,[4] the general secretary of PASTEF Bassirou Diomaye Faye was elected President of Senegal.[6] On 27 March 2024, three days after Faye won the election, the decree dissolving the party was repealed.
