Senegalese case captured in Ukraine: reactions from the authorities

Malick Diop, from Koungheul, succeeded in his baccalaureate before continuing law studies at the University of Bambey. Thanks to a scholarship, he then continued his training in Russia. In the context of the conflict in Ukraine, he would have joined the Russian forces, before being captured.

Faced with this worrying situation, the Senegalese Minister for Foreign Affairs and African Integration, Yassine Fall, brought insurance to the public. During an exchange on X (formerly Twitter), she said that diplomatic approaches were already underway to try to resolve this case. “We are doing everything to support Malick Diop. Our services collaborate with the Russian Embassy in order to find a solution, “she said, according to information relayed by The sun.

For their part, the relatives of Malick Diop, in a state of great concern, launched an urgent appeal to the Senegalese authorities for rapid intervention. They hope that concrete measures will be taken to guarantee its return safely.
