May 23, 2023

According to Impeccable Sources, Dozens of Youth from Bantanto Village in Central River Region have Allegedly Attacked the Bansang Police Station earlier today.

According to an Eyewitness, the Mob came out after Two Villagers from Bantanto were Arrested by the Police for Allegedly Disrupting the Mosque Construction of their Fellow Villager who was believed to be AN AHMADDIYA.

Speaking to this Medium, the Eyewitness said the Situation was caused by a Tussle between the MUSLIMS and an AHMADDIYA who bought a Piece of Land to Build a Mosque in the Village.

“The Muslims were Reluctant that the Ahmaddiya will Not Build their Mosque in the Village which nearly resulted to a Fracas. The said Ahmadi went to Bansang Police Station to Report the matter and Subsequently Two of the Youths were Arrested” the Eyewitness Stated.

He added that upon knowing that Two of their Natives were Arrested by the Police, they urged the Residents to go and Forcefully Release their Arrested Villagers from the Station.

“They came with Stones and Pistols and forcefully broke the Cell to Release the Detainees and Vandalized the Entire Station. Two Police Officers were Wounded in the Fracas and they were Admitted at the Hospital for further Treatment” he said.

The Eyewitness further States that the Situation was later Handled by the PIU Officers from YBK who Arrested few of the Disgruntled Villagers.

“The Entire Station was Vandalized and Police Officers were Wounded because the Villagers Outnumbered them.

They (The Police) could Not Handle the Situation and the Station Officer Decided to Lock Himself Inside his Office to Save his Life; yet, the Fearless Villagers tried Harder to Break the Door.

Before they could Settle on Breaking the the Door, the PIU Arrived and the matter was Put Under Control” he said.

When the Police PRO, ASP Binta Njie Jatta was Contacted for comments, she did confirm the Incident.

“Our Officers were Wounded but they were treated and Discharged from the Hospital as I speak to you Currently, they are Home. However, few of the Mob were Arrested and they are in Our Custody” PRO States.

Speaking on the Circumstances that led to the incident, this is what ASP Njie has to say; “One Ebrima Fatty of Bantanto Village Reported that, sometime in 2019, he bought a Plot of Land and was given all Required Documents of Ownership, so he went on to Develop his Plot of Land but was Intercepted by some Youths of Bantanto who Threatened to stop him by All Means Possible.

Today 22nd May 2023, around 11:00 am, as the matter is under Police Investigation, Two of the Accused were Called for Questioning during which they Refused to Cooperate with the Police, in the process, an Angry Mob Stormed the Station, Vandalized the Properties in it and Injured some of Our Constables.

Some of them were Arrested, Charged and are Currently helping the Police in their Investigation”.

Gambia may miss WAEC exams over US$11 to US$12 million arrears

FEBRUARY 21, 2022

The permanent secretary at the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education has disclosed to lawmakers that pupils and students in The Gambia risk missing both the West Africa Senior Secondary Secondary Schools Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the Gambia Basic Education Certificate Examination (GABECE) this year due to arrears owed to the West African Examination Council (WAEC).

Speaking during an interface with the National Assembly joint committee on education and public finance on the recent teachers strike, Louis Moses Mendy lamented that his ministry faces acute financial constraints which among others led to the recent teachers strike as well as the possibility of missing out on examinations conducted by WAEC.

He said the country owes the council between US$11 and US$12 million, 50 per cent of which must be paid as stipulated by the new WAEC administration or the country risks missing WAEC exams.

According to PS Mendy, his ministry had a meeting with the new WAEC chairman in January where they were briefed about some new actions to be taken by the council at its annual meeting next month.

“One of the decisions is that we must pay our arrears as a country. Initially they put it at 50% and our WAEC arrears are over U$11 to US$12 million, 50 % of that is over D350 million,” PS Mendy revealed.

He explained that these arrears were owed to WAEC for the conduct of examinations for Gambian students writing grade 9 and 12 examinations including printing of exam papers and DHL sending fees among others.

“We have shared this with the Office of the Secretary General and Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs after our January meeting [with WAEC] for them to be in the know. We want your intervention, otherwise, we stand the risk of not sitting both the WASSCE and GABECE exams this year,” he added.

PS Mendy further disclosed that MoBSE also owes D14 million to Gambia Teachers Union for payment of ‘reconciles’ and other debts in millions of dalasis to GSM companies.

“In fact, Gamtel and QCell have both disconnected us” he added.

PS Mendy lamented that he is bringing these revelations to the attention of lawmakers for them to understand the financial difficulties at his ministry.

“Every day we knock on the doors of [Ministry of] Finance based on our cash plan and if we could be getting what we submit, it will go a long way to help us honour some of these payments and then these problems would not have occurred. When we were opening schools we had a budget of D18 million for facemasks just to be told that the government cannot finance those things. It was a nightmare to pay for those things. Our names were on the social media because those we contracted were constantly coming to the ministry saying everything.”

Excerpt of President Barrow’s address on national security đŸ‘‡đŸŸ

“It is my primary duty as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces to keep this country safe; therefore, let me assure you all that I will discharge my responsibilities, both day and night, without fear, favour, ill-will or affection.

My government will continue to do everything possible to boost the capacity of The Gambia Police Force and other internal security services, in relation to personnel, equipment and training, in order to enhance their response capability to all threats and crimes.

We are aware that the country will soon enter into a new electoral cycle, beginning with the Presidential election in December of this year.
This precedes the Legislative and Local Government elections. As we all know, free and fair elections can only be held in a secure atmosphere, free from fear and intimidation.

Accordingly, I call upon the requisite organs of the State - the Judiciary, Legislature and the media - to play their roles and complement one another to nib the surging crime rate in the bud.

By the same token, I invite our development partners, both bilateral and multilateral, to support Government efforts to provide and maintain a secure and safe environment for the upcoming election and for the wellbeing of everyone in The Gambia.

As a final warning to the criminals and bandits in our midst, I hereby order the National Guard Unit of the Armed Forces to be on standby for deployment, when needed, to assume police duties, as provided for under the National Guard Unit Police Duties Regulations. Together with all citizens, we must never allow The Gambia to be a safe haven for criminal acts and banditry.

Under these circumstances, I am duty-bound to remind and call upon all well-meaning Gambians and residents of The Gambia to equally take their own security seriously.

This is not about politics. Crime is not a political matter and, therefore, should not be politicised. Let us join forces to eliminate crime and expel all criminals from our communities”.

TRAGIQUE ! Un chauffeur de taxi meurt en pleine conduite dans des conditions étranges

Jan. 25, 2021

Les morts subites sont lĂ©gion sous nos cieux. Certaines personnes restent dans leur sommeil et ne se rĂ©veillent plus jamais. D’autres piquent des crises et meurent sur le coup. Tous ces faits sont de tristes rĂ©alitĂ©s qui se produisent de part et d’autre du globe terrestre. C’est le cas de ce chauffeur de taxi qui a perdu la vie dans des conditions Ă©tranges.

La mort ne prĂ©vient pas a-t-on coutume de dire. Eh oui ! Cette phrase a tout son sens avec ce qui vient d’arriver Ă  ce chauffeur de taxi.Que s’est-il passĂ© pour que ce chauffeur de taxi perde la vie dans ces conditions ? Était-il malade ? Est-ce un sort ? L’on ne sait comment qualifier ce qui vient d’arriver aux Parcelles Assainies, un quartier de Dakar au SĂ©nĂ©gal. Un chauffeur de taxi s’est effondrĂ© avant de rendre l’ñme. Selon le journal Le TĂ©moin qui donne l’information, le chauffeur de taxi est mort en pleine journĂ©e aprĂšs avoir fait un malaise. En effet, pendant sa conduite, l’homme qui transportait des passagers Ă  bord de son vĂ©hicule s’est senti trĂšs mal subitement. Il a donc stationnĂ© son vĂ©hicule en laissant les passagers Ă  l’intĂ©rieur. Il s’est mis Ă  vomir une Ă©norme quantitĂ© de sang sur le trottoir. AprĂšs les vomissements, le chauffeur s’est effondrĂ© et a rendu l’ñme. Les faits ont eu lieu le mercredi 20 janvier dernier aux Parcelles Assainies.

Signalons que c’est une autre mort subite qui vient d’ĂȘtre enregistrĂ©e dans cette semaine. Un imprimeur de 49 ans est mort subitement dans un bus Tata de la ligne 67. En GuinĂ©e, un chauffeur de taxi Ă  trouver la mort au volant de son engin alors qu’il Ă©tait en pleine circulation routiĂšre au rond-point de Cosa dans la commune de Ratoma le jeudi 19 mai 2020. Selon les tĂ©moignages recueillis sur place, l’acte s’est passĂ© aux environs de 21 heures. À en croire les passagers qui Ă©taient Ă  bord dudit taxi, le chauffeur a fait un malaise et il n’a pas eu le temps de se garer. Les autoritĂ©s aussitĂŽt informĂ©s, se sont mobilisĂ©es pour procĂ©der Ă  l’identification et dĂ©terminer la cause de sa mort.

La mort subite est définie comme un décÚs imprévisible dans les 24 heures qui la précÚdent. Elle peut se définir comme étant une mort naturelle survenant de façon inattendue. Elle est, dans ce cas, le premier symptÎme de la maladie sous-jacente. Parfois, elle reste inexpliquée.

Press release

BANJUL, 20th January 2021: The Government of the Republic of The Gambia wishes to inform the general public that it has on Tuesday 12th January 2021 signed a Cooperation Agreement on migration matters with the Government of Switzerland in the city of Berne.

ATTENTAT manquĂ© au SĂ©nĂ©gal, le ″terroriste″ arrĂȘtĂ© dĂ©balle le plan machiavĂ©lique

Les actes terroristes se multiplient de plus en plus en Afrique. AprĂšs les pays voisins du SĂ©nĂ©gal, le pays est aujourd’hui la cible des attentats terroristes. Un prĂ©sumĂ© terroriste arrĂȘtĂ© Ă  Touba est passĂ© aux aveux face aux nombreuses interrogations des limiers.

Le pays de la TĂ©ranga vient d’échapper Ă  un acte terroriste. AprĂšs avoir apprĂ©hendĂ© un homme prĂ©sumĂ© terroriste au quartier Gouye Mbinde de Touba et transfĂ©rĂ© Ă  Dakar, ce dernier est passĂ© aux aveux en dĂ©voilant le plan machiavĂ©lique qui avait Ă©tĂ© Ă©laborĂ© minutieusement. Face aux enquĂȘteurs de la Cellule de lutte anti-terroriste (Clat), le nommĂ© S.S.D. ĂągĂ© de 31 ans, a confiĂ© qu'un Libyen lui avait proposĂ© beaucoup d'argent pour commettre un attentat au SĂ©nĂ©gal.

« Un Libyen m’a proposĂ© beaucoup d’argent pour commettre un attentat au SĂ©nĂ©gal. Mais j’avais dĂ©clinĂ© sa proposition, avant de lui certifier que je ne suis pas prĂȘt Ă  mourir dans ces circonstances », confie-t-il. Il poursuit son argumentaire en affirmant qu’il sait manier les armes mais ne souhaiterait pas mourir dans ces conditions tragiques. Il avoue ne jamais avoir ĂŽtĂ© la vie Ă  un homme. "J'Ă©tais en possession de mon arme en Libye, mais je n'ai jamais tuĂ© une personne. Nous allions parfois dans des endroits (restaurants, discothĂšques), oĂč mes frĂšres d'armes tiraient des balles sur la foule (
) Des individus ont Ă©tĂ© tuĂ©s comme des mouches devant moi".

Le prĂ©sumĂ© terroriste a toutefois fait savoir aux limiers que la laĂŻcitĂ© doit disparaĂźtre au SĂ©nĂ©gal au profit de la charia. Pour mettre leurs ressortissants Ă  l’abri de la menace terroriste, les Etats-Unis, la France et le Canada ont alertĂ© leurs ressortissants vivants sur le sol sĂ©nĂ©galais d’éviter les endroits trĂšs frĂ©quentĂ©s par des Occidentaux. Selon Les Echos qui vend la mĂšche, ces pays craignent un risque d’attentat dans le pays.

Au Niger, au NigĂ©ria, Mali, Burkina-Faso, Cameroun et bien d’autres pays, les terroristes dictent leur loi. Plusieurs cas de morts sont rĂ©guliĂšrement enregistrĂ©s dans ces pays avec des cas de disparitions.

Scandale à l'Eglise catholique : Le Pape François soutient les homos3xuels

ruche bling Oct 22, 2020

Des dĂ©clarations faites par le Pape François crĂ©ent la polĂ©mique depuis plusieurs heures. En effet, le pape semblait soutenir la crĂ©ation d’une union civile pour les couples de mĂȘme s3xe dans un documentaire diffusĂ© sur les mĂ©dias. Ce soutien affichĂ© crĂ©e le scandale chez beaucoup de chrĂ©tiens tandis que les homos3xuels eux se rĂ©jouissent d’une avancĂ©e qu’ils n’auraient pas espĂ©rĂ© avoir de si tĂŽt. C’est vrai que le souverain pontife a souvent Ă©tĂ© ouvert sur la question des couples homos3xuels, en militant pour leur accueil au sein de l'Église catholique. Mais il Ă©tait jusque-lĂ  opposĂ© au "mariage" gay qui, selon la tradition chrĂ©tienne, doit se faire entre un homme et une femme

Selon France 24, le Pape François n’avait jamais confirmĂ© son soutien Ă  l’union des gay, mĂȘme s’il a toujours Ă©tĂ© ouvert sur la question de l’homos3xualitĂ©. Mais le pas est dĂ©sormais franchi. Cette position a en rĂ©alitĂ© Ă©tĂ© perçcue dans un documentaire, rĂ©alisĂ© par Evgeny Afineevsky et projetĂ© en avant-premiĂšre hier mercredi au Festival international du film de Rome. Selon le media, on pouvait voir le pape François affirmant ĂȘtre favorable Ă  l'union civile pour les couples homosexuels. Il disait notamment ceci :"Les personnes homos3xuelles ont le droit d'ĂȘtre en famille. Ce sont des enfants de Dieu, elles ont le droit Ă  une famille". Il a aussi precisĂ© que :"Ce qu'il faut, c'est une loi d'union civile, elles ont le droit Ă  ĂȘtre couvertes lĂ©galement. J'ai dĂ©fendu cela".

Il faut noter que dans le documentaire en question, ses propos exprimĂ©s en espagnol, suivent le tĂ©moignage d'un homos3xuel, pĂšre de trois enfants, qui demandait s’il pouvait frĂ©quenter une Ă©glise catholique. Le pape l'a alors appelĂ© au tĂ©lĂ©phone pour lui recommander la transparence dans son choix sur la paroisse qu’il frĂ©quentait en lui demandant Aussi d’y amener ses enfants.

Plus tĂŽt, dans le mois de septembre, il avait dĂ©jĂ  rencontrĂ© la maman d’un jeune homos3xuel, Ă  qui il avait tĂ©moignĂ© de l’amour en ces termes : "le Seigneur et l'Église aiment [tous les] enfants car ils sont tous fils de Dieu". Six annĂ©es plus tĂŽt, Ă  l’occasion d'une interview au Corriere della Sera, il avait dĂ©jĂ  dit que"l'enseignement de l'Église, c'est que le mariage concerne les hommes et les femmes tout en reconnaissant le droit aux gouvernements d'adopter des unions civiles de couples g**s".

Les propos du Pape alimenteront nĂ©cessairement le dĂ©bat dans les tous prochains jours. Car mĂȘme si l’Eglise catholique est bien souvent accusĂ©e d’ĂȘtre trop rigoriste sur les questions de son Ă©poque, cette ouverture trop poussĂ©e sur la question des homos3xuels ne sera pas applaudie. Toutefois, elle permettra de stigmatiser les homes3xuels puisqu’une figure mondiale respectĂ©e leur tend la main.

Le samedi 28 septembre 2018, des coups de feu ont Ă©tĂ© perçus Ă  Keur Massar sur le site de la CoopĂ©rative d’habitat des travailleurs de l’UniversitĂ© Cheikh Anta Diop (Ucad), communĂ©ment appelĂ© Ucad 4 Keur Massar. Cette fois encore comme en 2016 sur le mĂȘme site, c’est un enseignant d’universitĂ© excĂ©dĂ© qui a fait usage de son arme pour donner des coups de sommation Ă  des individus qui exploitaient son terrain malgrĂ© l’existence des cinq tonnes de briques qu’il y a empilĂ©es.

En effet, cet enseignant, comme le prĂ©cĂ©dent, a voulu sauver son terrain de ces prĂ©dateurs. Ce terrain a Ă©tĂ© acquis dans le cadre de la CoopĂ©rative des travailleurs de l’Ucad comme l’atteste, du reste, le dĂ©cret dont les rĂ©fĂ©rences sont rappelĂ©es dans la Lettre ouverte que j’ai adressĂ©e Ă  Monsieur le prĂ©sident de la RĂ©publique Ă  ce sujet et qui a Ă©tĂ© publiĂ©e et mise en ligne par le journal Le Quotidien. Dans cette lettre, j’ai tenu Ă  rappeler que le site dont il est question a Ă©tĂ© attribuĂ© Ă  la coopĂ©rative par dĂ©cret n° 2006-374 du 24 avril 2006. Ce terrain d’une superficie de 10 hectares se situe Ă  Keur Massar, «à 1,5 km du centre des Ă©metteurs de la marine française et Ă  250 m de celui de l’Asecna jouxtant le projet d’autoroute Ă  pĂ©age, Dakar-Diamniadio et la CitĂ© des PĂ©nitenciers».

La signature du dĂ©cret dĂ©clarant d’utilitĂ© publique le projet de construction de logements sur un terrain du domaine national par la coopĂ©rative est l’aboutissement d’un long processus administratif qui part d’une demande d’attribution auprĂšs de l’Etat du SĂ©nĂ©gal en date du 6 aoĂ»t 2002 et qui a conduit l’obtention des piĂšces suivantes :
L’avis favorable du Cadastre, de l’Urbanisme des Impîts et domaines de Rufisque ;
L’attestation de prise de possession de la direction de l’Enregistrement, des domaines et du timbre en date du 30 janvier 2004, n° 297/Mef/Dgi/Dedt du 30 janvier 2004 ;
L’autorisation de lotir et de construire n° 00138 du 15 septembre 2004 ;
Le constat de mise en valeur ; Pv du 22 octobre 2004 ;
L’avis favorable de la Commission nationale du contrĂŽle des opĂ©rations domaniales ;
L’ouverture et la fermeture d’enquĂȘte de commodo et incommodo ;
Le certificat de conformité des travaux n° 0001999 du 20 avril 2010 ;
Le plan de masse cadastral suivant réquisition du 22 avril 2016 n° 383 ;
L’avis de bornage du 16 juin 2016 ;
Le Nicad n° 01330111300­2000­93 du 13 octobre 2016 à 10h 37mn 59s ;
Le titre foncier n° 12475/R ; Services fiscaux de Rufisque (Domaines).

Tous ces documents n’ont pas suffi pour dĂ©courager des individus couverts par des agents vĂ©reux (agents de l’autoritĂ© judiciaire, administrative ou mĂ©dicale). Avec la bĂ©nĂ©diction de ces agents, ces individus vendent nos terrains comme de petits pains et les font exploiter par des nervis recrutĂ©s Ă  cet effet. Par contre, lorsqu’un agent de l’universitĂ©, membre de la coopĂ©rative, tente d’exploiter son terrain, il est brutalisĂ© par ces nervis ou arrĂȘtĂ© par les gendarmes. Quelque fois, cela va trĂšs loin : jusqu’à chez le procureur. Souvent aprĂšs une parodie d’enquĂȘte, l’agent rĂ©calcitrant de l’universitĂ© est mis en prison le temps que ces individus occupent son terrain. Au mĂȘme moment, nos plaintes dĂ©posĂ©es directement par nous sont classĂ©es sans suite : cela est intriguant.
Pour faire face Ă  tout cela, nous avons attirĂ© l’attention de l’opinion publique et surtout celle de Monsieur le prĂ©sident de la RĂ©publique qui Ă©tait, en tant que Premier ministre, cosignataire du dĂ©cret qui nous affecte ce site. Dalleurs, nous avons saisi l’occasion de le lui rappeler lors de sa visite Ă  l’Ucad, il y a deux ans. Les syndicats lui ont fait part de la situation que nous vivons injustement Ă  Ucad 4. Le PrĂ©sident, Ă  sa dĂ©charge, avait donnĂ© des instructions pour qu’on mette un terme Ă  tout cela, mais elles sont restĂ©es lettre morte. Et p*s, on lui a racontĂ© qu’il s’agissait d’un litige foncier pendent devant la justice ; ce qui est faux, illogique et absurde. Les PrĂ©sidents sont peut-ĂȘtre les plus informĂ©s, mais certainement pas les mieux informĂ©s, hĂ©las !
Aujourd’hui, lorsqu’on se rend compte que certains de nos terrains sont occupĂ©s par des gendarmes, nous ne sommes pas trĂšs surpris du traitement qui nous est rĂ©servĂ© par la Gendarmerie territoriale (les brigades). Comment un homme de loi peut se mĂȘler Ă  des situations pareilles ? DĂ©jĂ  le simple fait de savoir qu’il y a une coopĂ©rative derriĂšre ces terrains devrait amener tout acquĂ©reur potentiel honnĂȘte Ă  faire attention. Les documents que ces prĂ©dateurs brandissent sont de vrais faux documents. J’invite particuliĂšrement le patron de la Gendarmerie territoriale Ă  se pencher sur la question afin d’éviter Ă  ce prestigieux corps (je suis fils d’ancien gendarme, mais c’est le citoyen qui parle) tout ce qui est de nature Ă  ternir son image. J’invite les journalistes d’investigation Ă  faire de mĂȘme. J’invite enfin le ministre de l’IntĂ©rieur Ă  mettre Ă  contribution, pour que la vĂ©ritĂ© triomphe, la Division des investigations criminelles ; un organe qui me semble encore digne de confiance.

En tant que citoyen et par devoir, je tiens Ă  rappeler pour la commenter cette rĂ©flexion de Blaise Pascal : «Ne pouvant faire que la force fĂ»t juste, on fĂźt que la justice fĂ»t forte.» Il s’agit ici de l’appareil judiciaire et non de la justice comme principe spirituel et moral. La justice rassure et protĂšge, elle est absolument forte. Mais l’appareil judiciaire peut ne pas ĂȘtre fort ; cela du fait de la dĂ©faillance de ses acteurs : juges, auxiliaires de justice (avocats, gendarmes, policiers, mĂ©decins
). C’est le lieu de rappeler le rapport dialectique qui lie l’individu Ă  son groupe. L’individu renforce le groupe et le groupe protĂšge, en retour, l’individu. L’indĂ©pendance de l’individu est d’abord un principe moral et spirituel. L’indĂ©pendance rapportĂ©e au groupe est in principe administratif et lĂ©gal. Ce sont les individus qui font le groupe (Magistrature, Barreau, Gendarmerie nationale, Police nationale, Ordre des mĂ©decins). Etre indĂ©pendant pour un individu, c’est ĂȘtre en rĂšgle avec sa conscience. La conscience, nous dit le cardinal ThĂ©odore Adrien Sarr, «est le centre le plus intime et le plus secret de l’homme. Le sanctuaire oĂč il est seul avec Dieu et oĂč sa voix se fait entendre».
Lorsqu’il n’y a pas justice (principe moral), la force surgit. Lorsque la justice (organisation, appareil) est faible, la force ne se lĂ©galise pas, mais elle se «lĂ©gitimise». Ce qui est arrivĂ© samedi, comme c’était le cas il y a deux ans au mĂȘme endroit et de la part de professeurs d’universitĂ©, est la consĂ©quence directe de la dĂ©faillance de nos institutions. Comment comprendre que des individus sans attaches institutionnelles ou lĂ©gales s’accaparent impunĂ©ment des terrains qui relĂšvent d’une coopĂ©rative ; c’est-Ă -dire une personne morale de droit privĂ© ? En effet, nous ne luttons ni contre une coopĂ©rative ni contre une institution, encore moins contre une famille, mais contre des bandits qui disposent comme armes : nos terrains, instrument de corruption ou l’argent de la vente de nos terrains.

Pour terminer, j’invite ceux qui nous dirigent ou qui aspirent Ă  le faire Ă  optimiser d’abord la ressource humaine (tout membre du corps social et politique sĂ©nĂ©galais) par le seul socle sur lequel on peut bĂątir, dans l’intĂ©rĂȘt gĂ©nĂ©ral, quelque chose de durable : une Ă©thique de l’équitĂ©. C’est la ressource humaine qui optimise la ressource matĂ©rielle et la ressource financiĂšre. Il faut surtout Ă©viter les erreurs de «casting» telles que celles notĂ©es par le colonel Ndao dans son ouvrage. «Nommer aux fonctions civiles et militaires» est une lourde responsabilitĂ©. Elire Ă©galement est une lourde responsabilitĂ©.

Urgent: Un réseau de tontines démantelé "Fi la Beutt Yam Nakk"(Vidéo)

Incroyable mais vrai ! En janvier 2018 dĂ©jĂ , Afrikmag parlait du phĂ©nomĂšne. Il s’agit de la tontine sexuelle, une pratique qui selon le site web, Ă©tait faite par de jeunes femmes.

Aujourd’hui en faisant un petit tour dans les groupes de vente privĂ©e sur facebook, on se rend compte que le phĂ©nomĂšne prend de l’ampleur. Les annonces font foison et le modus operandi est le mĂȘme. Un fait dĂ©noncĂ© par les internautes.

Aujourd’hui en faisant un petit tour dans les groupes de vente privĂ©e sur facebook, on se rend compte que le phĂ©nomĂšne prend de l’ampleur. Les annonces font foison et le modus operandi est le mĂȘme. Un fait dĂ©noncĂ© par les internautes.

L’organisateur de la tontine poste une annonce via les groupes de vente et d’achat sur facebook. En prenant soin de demander aux intĂ©ressĂ©s de lui envoyer un message privĂ©. Ce, afin d’avoir plus de renseignements.

La participation, tenez-vous bien, est de 1000 francs Cfa par personne pour les tailles fines, 1500 pour les “driankĂ©s” et 2000 francs pour bĂ©nĂ©ficier d’un “bonus massage”.

Le “tirage” se fait tous les 10 jours. Le gagnant bĂ©nĂ©ficie d’un appartement meublĂ© pour profiter de moments d’intimitĂ© avec la femme de son choix.

Une pratique qui existe depuis longtemps

Selon un internaute dont nous tairons l’identitĂ©, “lorsque j’ai contactĂ© un des annonceurs de ce type de tontine, il m’a fait savoir que cette pratique existe depuis longtemps.

Il ajoute : “celui que j’ai contactĂ© affirme que toutes les filles qui participent Ă  cette tontine ont les papiers nĂ©cessaires qui leur permettent de se prostituer lĂ©galement”.

beginning of the 2020 rainy season distributed 310 Metric tons of rice seed from registered
certified rice seed producers from Central River Region. These rice seeds were procured by the
Government and distributed to the farming communities across the country through the
Department of Agriculture.
The Nema project also procured 142 metric tons of assorted rice seeds certified by the National
Seeds Secretariat to farmers as Covid -19 support.
The following certified seeds and quantities were distributed across the country to farmers which
are now at the near harvestable stage:
Groundnut - 132 metric tons

Development Bank Group (AfDB) to the tune of USD 40 Million and the just ended Saudi Sahel
Project Phase V (SSP V) funded by the Saudi Fund for Development (SDF) to the tune of USD
3.5 Million. Both projects aim to provide access to safe and quality drinking water to the rural
populace.

The Climate Smart Rural WASH Development project would provide:

 144 solar-powered water supply systems to 276 communities in five
administrative regions of the country.
