Each French department now has its own Adama Traore because let's not forget that “the police kill” and that they are “structurally racist” on top of that. In Ille-et-Vilaine, the local Traore is called Babacar Gueye. This Senegalese national was, in fact, shot 5 times by the Rennes BAC on the night of December 2 to 3, 2015 in a building in Maurepas while he was going through a delirious attack and mutilated himself with a knife. . Between two screams he appeared threatening towards the police officers who had been forced to neutralize him.
After an indictment, automatic these days, the official who had fired benefited from a dismissal order issued in May 2023, after seven and a half years of judicial investigation.
But according to Babacar Gueye's family and especially the Rennes left, this proves nothing and above all we need to find a local martyr to ride the Adama Traore wave (largely demonetized since) whose sister has become a fashion figure in the show- biz. It is in this sense that Babacar Gueye's sister, Awa Gueye, appealed this decision on May 12 2023. The procedure is still ongoing in the investigating chamber of the Rennes Court of Appeal. Meanwhile, the policeman, who has done his job, lives with a sword of Damocles over his head.
And to support this call, the “truth and justice for Babacar Gueye” collective will, once again this year, occupy the streets of Rennes on Saturday December 7, 2024 for a 9th “day of tribute”.
It remains to be seen why this young man without a residence permit arrived in Brittany when Senegal (which he described in one of his writings as “a wonderful country”) is not at war? And why was he not followed for his psychiatric problems in his country even though it has been independent since 1960?
