Talla Sylla à Rebeuss : "Badara Gadiaga et Abdou Nguer, symboles d’une République emprisonnée"
"It was not without deep emotion that I left Rebeuss prison after my visit to Badara Gadiaga. Once the cold and impersonal administrative formalities were behind me, I crossed this courtyard that separates the so-called "free" world from that of detention. But upon arriving at the visiting rooms, a striking truth struck me: I had the impression of having left an open-air detention center to go and meet a free man in Rebeuss." The statement is by Talla Sylla, reflecting on the theme: From Rebeuss to the Republic: Freedom behind bars and the silence of a people.
The President of Jëf Jël / Jàmm ak Naatange continued: The son of my friend, the late Bathie Gadiaga, remained a man of unwavering integrity and unshakeable dignity. In his eyes, there was no trace of resignation, but the flame of a conviction that could not be imprisoned. His body is behind bars, but his spirit soars above the walls of injustice. He is the living symbol of this truth that tyrants struggle to understand: you cannot lock up an idea, you cannot incarcerate principles.
For the former mayor of Thiès, Badara's case, like that of Abdou Nguer and so many other prisoners of conscience, is not a simple legal matter. It is a symptom of a Republic in doubt, of a democracy that is withering. He believes their incarceration holds up a mirror to our society: it reflects back to us the image of our own threatened freedoms. Every day they spend in detention is an indictment, not of themselves, but of the system that led them there. Because the fight for freedoms and the rule of law requires sacrifices, and their deprivation of liberty is one of those painful sacrifices that must permeate our collective conscience.
According to Talla Sylla, when the state distrusts its citizens to the point of depriving them of their freedom for a word, an opinion, or a commitment, it is the Republic itself that is imprisoned. Democracy is not just about holding elections at regular intervals. It is, above all, a space for debate, for the confrontation of ideas, and for criticizing power. When this space shrinks, when the fear of speaking out sets in, the entire nation becomes a prison whose invisible walls are made of self-censorship and renunciation.
This, he says forcefully, is where the greatest danger lies. For one must never confuse a silent people with a people who remain silent. The silence of the Senegalese people is not a blank check. It is the silence of observation, of accumulation, of patience that precedes the groundswell. It is a quiet force that can, at any moment, transform into an irresistible wave.
Also to point out: in the face of this erosion of our democratic achievements, indignation is no longer enough. The time has come not for bitter observations, but for concerted action. This is the meaning of the "Takk Jog" call that I launched: a call to rise up, to stand tall. It is about building a broad and united republican front, which transcends partisan divisions and personal ambitions. A front whose cement would be a minimal but non-negotiable platform: the preservation of our fundamental freedoms and the restoration of the rule of law.
The President of Jëf Jël / Jàmm ak Naatange believes we must demand the release of all political detainees, defend freedom of the press, the right to protest, and the independence of the judiciary. This is not a fight for one side against another; it is a fight for Senegal itself, for the soul of our Republic. According to him, the dignity of Badara Gadiaga in Rebeuss is a lesson and a call. It teaches us that even in the darkest adversity, principles keep us free. It calls us to be worthy of her sacrifice, and that of all others. Talla Sylla believes it is time to transform our silence into an active force, our indignation into a common project. It is time to stand up, together, for the Republic.

Vous perdez votre temps à chercher à nous imposer coûte que coûte des voyous, incultes et menteurs comme Abdou Nguer et Gadiaga (faussaire et grand mercenaire pour le plus offrant, tantôt il s’attaquait à Youhou Ndour, Gfm, Macky, Barthélémy Diaz, Aliou SALL, Lst Diop, etc, tantôt il rampait devant eux en leur jouant la cornemuse).
On espère sincèrement qu’ils profiteront de leur séjour carcéral l’un pour apprendre à lire, l’autre pour passer son Bfem.
