Timeline

1947

Ousmane Tanor Dieng (January 2, 1947 – July 15, 2019) was the First Secretary of the Socialist Party of Senegal.

Born in 1947 in Nguéniène, Senegal, Dieng attended the Koranic school between the ages of 3–7.

He hailed from the "Sérére" ethnic group which constitutes about 15 per cent of the Senegalese population.

1955

He began his primary education in 1955, in Nguéniène.

1961

In 1961, he attended the Andre Peytavin secondary school, St. Louis and later continued at the Maurice DELAFOSSE secondary school in Dakar, where he finished his secondary education.

He studied law at the Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar where he majored in international relations.

He obtained a bachelor's degree in public law as well as a master's degree in political sciences and constitutional law.

He had a direct entry into the Ecole Nationale d’Administration et de Magistrature (ENAM) at a period the school was not very competitive because of very few prospectives.

He chose diplomacy and spent 2 years to qualify for ENAM.

1976

In 1976, he finished his studies at the ENAM and was thereafter posted to the foreign office where he performed various functions being in charge of the International Affairs (Africa Division and UNO) until 1978.

1978

In October 1978, he was appointed as the diplomatic advisor of Leopold Sedar Senghor (President of the Republic at that time) who was in search of somebody with an international background who can write.

He handled the scientific and literary domain.

1981

In January 1981, Abdou Diouf (the former president of Senegal) became president according to article 35 of the Senegalese constitution; Ousmane Tanor Dieng continued in the presidency as the Diplomatic Advisor of Abdou Diouf till 1988.

1988

In 1988, still in the presidency, he became director of departmental staff until 1993.

Since 1988, he developed interest in politics as a result of being the president's speech writer; thus, he began to invest so much in his village.

He then became the secretary general of coordination in the authorities of the party.

Consequently, he was eventually chosen by President Abdou Diouf as the First Secretary of the Socialist Party of Senegal.

He became responsible for the day-to-day management of the party.

He took advantage of his position in the Party, and came tops in the list of candidate for the general elections and was consequently elected representative.

However, he subsequently had to resign because the function of Minister was conflicting with the function of representative.

A vice-president of the Socialist International, Dieng thought that without integration, Africa had no future.

He believed Africa had to become integrated, or else it will perish.

Although integration is difficult, Dieng seemed optimistic, and was encouraged by the theory of "the concentrated circles", an idea of Leopold Sedar Senghor.
