The Pastef kitty
Saturday May 3. The Patriots de Vélingara asked for an individual contribution from their comrades to participate in the medical costs of the victims of the accident. An initiative which would not be approved by the administrative authority, which requested its immediate judgment. According to Abdou Aziz Sabaly, head of the commune of Bonconto, “we say to whoever wants to hear it that Pastef-Vélingara will never back up before the arbitrariness. Faced with the threats of authority to have the kitty arrested to which the patriots have subscribed and continue to subscribe freely, the departmental coordination refuses to accept that the administrative authority dictates to him what she has to do. We therefore consider that this kitty must continue ”. Mr. Sabaly was the spokesperson for Pastef during an organized press briefing, yesterday Wednesday evening, to rejoice in the provisional release of their communications officer, Abu Djiba, arrested and then brought to Kolda following a Facebook post announcing 8 dead instead of 2. The Patriotes call for a mobilization of all so that the teacher-patriot benefits from his next trial scheduled for May 14. Because, according to Abdou Aziz Sabaly, “Abu Djiba is a model citizen, very invested in the community, who works within the Red Cross to train young people to make them model citizens … Abu Djiba is a reference,” he concludes.
