KEEMTAAN GI – THE “BEAUTY”, THE BEAST AND THE BRUTE
What beautiful dissonances, these last few days and this beginning of the week! Where to start? Let’s take them according to their “pedigree”. The joke from the former muse of the Socialist Party is a good one. The one who “dared” before lowering her pretensions and lining up behind those she wanted to stand against. A ministerial folding seat which made the “beautiful” unrecognizable. Since then, it has been difficult to recognize the stingy lawyer who has become a shadow of herself. From blunders to blunders, she is on the way to being the comic of the political scene of this charming country. However, it was she who was the first to see external forces during the events of March 2021. She learnedly declared that forces lurking within the Salafist movements and trained and armed bands wanted to seize our country and put down the Republic. Does it make you smile? We had a narrow escape, we tell you! We were thus going to be deprived of looking at the sumptuous butts of our girls by these evil Salafists. It is the same one that warns against the repeal of the amnesty law. In short, she would like us to write off the dead and missing from these painful events. Quietly leaving criminals in their slippers in their luxurious residences without them tasting the comfort of our prisons. And what else? Tremble, gentlemen and ladies, we are gripped by a tyrannical regime. Above all, let’s not let ourselves get carried away. Go to the resistance! And who do you think is calling for battle? A neo-oppositionist who only exists because of the space given to him by a certain press. And in what way? Do you want me to tell you? In any case, with his electoral weight, intelligence would have recommended him to close it. But what do you want, he has to bray well so as not to die stupid. The end of the game of these dissonances is the one who wanted to send to hell the winners of March 2024 whom the latter want to slay politically. It’s going to bleed…
THE WITNESS – THE WITNESS
NGAGNE DEMBA TOURE “IF THE LAW IS APPLIED… BARTHELEMY DIAS WILL NO LONGER BE MAYOR OF DAKAR”
Me Ngagne Demba Touré responded to the mayor of Dakar through a press conference. He reacted following the removal of Barthélemy Dias from the National Assembly, affirming that the latter also risks losing his position as mayor of Dakar. According to him, if the law is strictly applied, Mr. Dias will no longer be able to exercise his functions. The Director General of the Senegal Mining Company (SOMISEN), responsible for Pastef, began by clarifying that Barthélemy Dias cannot be dismissed under article 135 of the Local Authorities Code, which requires conviction for a crime while Barth’ was convicted of an offense in the Ndiaga Diouf affair. However, the secretary general of Pastef Grand Yoff emphasizes that it is possible to declare one’s resignation for ineligibility, relying on article L. 29 of the Electoral Code and article .277 of the Senegalese Constitution. “Article L. 29 prohibits registration on the electoral lists for any person sentenced to more than three months of imprisonment. However, Barthélemy Dias was sentenced to six months in prison. He is therefore concerned,” said Mr. Ngagne. He adds that article 277 of the Constitution stipulates that an elected official in a situation of ineligibility or incompatibility may be declared resigned by the representative of the State, unless appealed to the Court of Appeal within 10 days. . According to Me Touré, the combination of these two legal provisions allows any voter to contact the prefect to request the recognition of the resignation of Barthélemy Dias. “If the law is applied in the coming days, Barthélemy Dias will no longer be mayor of Dakar,” he concluded.
UNIVERSITY ZIGUINCHOR STUDENTS POINT OUT THE INCONSISTENCIES OF DR ABDOURAHMANE DIOUF
Students at Assane Seck University in Ziguinchor do not recognize themselves in the remarks of the Minister of Higher Education made on Friday in St-Louis. The Student Coordination of Assane Seck University of Ziguinchor (CE-UASZ) speaks of “inconsistencies by Minister Dr Abdourahmane Diouf between the minister’s recent declarations and the commitments made by the latter during several events in the past”. The coordination recalls that “the minister had promised concrete measures during the workshop on stabilizing the university calendar from May 31 to June 2, 2024, during his official visit to the UASZ on June 7, 2024, as well as during the meeting at the ministerial sphere of Diamniadio on September 26, 2024. The promises made on these occasions, which we have scrupulously noted, are today contradicted by the Minister’s statements. The CE-UASZ criticizes this lack of consistency and respect towards the university community, emphasizing that students continue to suffer the consequences of this management deemed to be faulty. “Urgent and vital questions cannot be negotiated: they call for immediate and concrete responses,” insisted the coordination. UASZ students demand rapid action on several crucial points, namely: The immediate delivery of the production area for the Diabir extension. Restarting PGF-SUP installations. The start of work on the equipment for the 1000-bed pavilion. The urgent completion of the repairs and rehabilitation necessary to ensure a dignified learning environment. “Without immediate satisfaction of these points, we will not resume classes,” warned the CE-UASZ. The latter calls for the involvement of President Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Sonko
CASE DR MBACKE DIEYNABA NDIAYE IS FREE
The domestic violence case of Dr Alioune Badaa Macké against his ex-wife Dieynaba Ndiaye saw a new development yesterday.

Images showing her bloodied face were widely shared on social media, accompanied by the hashtag “Justice for Dieyna” at the time of the incident. Ironically, it was she who was detained for three months, accused by her husband of having shared intimate videos. However, Dieynaba Ndiaye did not give up. She filed a complaint against her husband, Alioune Badara Mbacké, for “wilful assault, violence, assault, insults and failure to assist a person in danger”. Ms Mbacké relied on a medical certificate attesting to a temporary incapacity for work (ITT) of 10 days, as well as on images of the violence she suffered. The husband was ultimately sentenced to 45 days in prison.

ME WADE STADIUM VANDALIZES USMA OF ALGIERS SPEAKS OF ATTACKS BY SENEGALESE SUPPORTERS…
The sports facilities of the Me Abdoulaye Wade stadium were vandalized this Sunday by supporters of the USMA of Algiers at the end of the match which opposed them to Jaraaf of Dakar as part of the 2nd day of the group stage of the Cup of the CAF Confederation. The USMA management published a press release on its Facebook account in which it expressed “its great disappointment regarding the incidents which marred the end of the match”. She also revealed that the aggression of Senegalese supporters who entered the USMA supporters’ stand and the field caused “serious injuries for certain supporters, which required the intervention of medical staff to provide them with care. , despite the difficult conditions”. The management of the USMA “strongly condemns this aggression which violates sporting ethics” and “calls on all authorities to take the necessary measures against the culprits”. Finally, the Usmist management undertakes to “protect its supporters” and will transmit a “damning report to CAF, with supporting photos and videos”.
…THE JARAAF REPLIES AND RESTORES THE TRUTH OF THE FACTS
In a press release dated Monday, December 9, AS Jaraaf sought to reestablish the truth of the facts. In this note received by the Editorial team, the team leaders explain that an organizational plan had been sent to the Confederation of African Football (CAF), clearly stipulating the location of USM Alger supporters, namely the gates 131, 132 and 133. This provision was confirmed during the technical meeting. The Jaraaf leaders continuing their explanations declared: “Following this meeting, and in the presence of Commissioner Demba Sarr, the president of USM Alger and Mr. Freeman, it was finally decided to reassign the supporters to gates 129, 130 and 131, under the supervision of the Defense and Security Forces (FDS). Unfortunately, upon their arrival at the stadium, the Algerian supporters ignored these directives, despite the recommendations of the police. AS Jaraaf officials added: “As soon as kick-off, they unfurled their banner and lit smoke bombs, which they had hidden in crutches, thus allowing them to bypass security checks. This created a situation of distrust and insults against the security forces, which lasted until the end of the match. After the final whistle, this same spirit of violence, mistrust and heckling continued, forcing the security forces to supervise the supporters so that they left the stadium calmly. “Not content with this situation, they started a fight with the police and showed a real desire to attack the Jaraaf supporters, held back by the security forces. What followed was a scene of distrust, sabotage and destruction of the seats and LED panels located under their stand. They then vandalized the boxes,” the note concluded.
