DAKARACTU.COM Nombre de Sénégalais restent avec des questions sans réponses suite au soulèvement populaire du 23 juin contre le projet de révision constitutionnelle instituant un ticket président - vice-président à la tête de l’Exécutif. Les interrogations fusent de toutes parts. D’où vient l’idée de ce projet de loi ? Au profit de qui était-il concocté ? Qui est ce fameux opposant pressenti pour le ticket dont une certaine presse a parlé ? Qu’est-ce qui a poussé le chef de l’Etat, Abdoulaye Wade, à reculer ?
Director Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi wasn’t familiar with Youssou N’Dour and his music until six months before she decided to commit five years of her life to making a movie about him.Ms. Vasarhelyi’s documentary about the Senegalese singer, “Youssou Ndour: I Bring What I Love,” opens in limited release June 12 in New York before rolling out to more cities later in the summer.Now that the director has had the opportunity to follow Mr. N’Dour through an eventful period in his life—including the low of a failed album release and the high of a Grammy Award win—she has become a die-hard fan.

WITH its spotless new white-tile floors and gleaming stainless-steel ovens, the basement kitchen of Patisserie des Ambassades, a French cafe in Harlem on Frederick Douglass Boulevard, has the fit and finish of a laboratory. On a recent weekday morning, its two resident scientists — bakers in starched white coats — glazed mixed-berry tartlets and spread crème Chantilly over thin sheets of millefeuille pastry on a long steel table. But at the table’s opposite end was the kitchen’s resident artist, Ken Alice N’doye, preparing thiebu djen (cheb-oo JEN), Senegal’s national dish of rice cooked in a tomato-based fish stew. Although Ms. N’doye, 31, an owner of the cafe, also wore a crisp chef’s coat, her every move sprung from sensual, rather than technical, cues.
She worked at the Red Lobster in Times Square and lived with her husband near Yankee Stadium. Yet one night, returning home from her job, Odine D. discovered that African custom, not American law, held sway over her marriage. A strange woman was sitting in the living room, and Ms. D.’s husband, a security guard born in Ghana, introduced her as his other wife. Devastated, Ms. D., a Guinean immigrant who insisted that her last name be withheld, said she protested: “I can’t live with the woman in my house — we have only two bedrooms.” Her husband cited Islamic precepts allowing a man to have up to four wives, and told her to get used to it. And she tried to obey.
As part of activities marking the 12th anniversary celebrations of the July 22nd Revolution, H.E. President Yahya Jammeh yesterday inaugurated the newly rehabilitated Ferry Terminal and Naval Yard in Banjul. Speaking on the occasion, President Jammeh said: “Gambians should now realise that when my government makes a policy it will adhere to it to the letter.” He added that his government would always fulfil whatever it promises the people. “In fact, by the grace of Allah, we will give you more than we promise you,” he noted. He also enjoined Gambians to be thankful and graceful enough to the Almighty Allah for the peace and stability in the country, whilst calling on the public and the civil servants to take their work, duties and responsibilities seriously.
After a brief respite while hosting the African Union summit, Gambian authorities have resumed a crackdown on the media. One journalist has not been seen since July 7, five days after the summit ended. He is believed to have been arrested, while another has gone into hiding fearing arrest, sources told the Committee to Protect Journalists. "The government has waited for international attention surrounding the AU summit to fade before launching a new offensive against the already beleaguered press," said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon. "The Gambia has become one of the worst places in Africa to be a journalist."
“Trafficking in persons must be recognized as an economic and financial crime which usually manifests in illegal trans-border trade, smuggling, and money laundering, thereby depriving nations of benefits of their human capital.” These were some of the remarks made by Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abuja on 6-7 July 2006, whilst officially opening the joint ECOWAS/ECCAS Conference of Ministers to combat trafficking in persons. The President’s prepared speech was read on his behalf by the Minister of Integration. The President said going by the United States report published in 2004, about 600,000 to 800,000 persons worldwide are trafficked across the borders each year. “A recent report also indicates that there are at least 20 million bonded labourers in the world today,” he added.
BANJUL, March 28 - Gambian police sealed off the offices of the tiny West African country's Independent newspaper and arrested its entire staff on Tuesday, a day after the paper printed two articles critical of President Yahya Jammeh. Most employees were released after questioning but Managing Director Madi Ceesay -- who is also president of the Gambia Press Union -- and Editor Musa Saidy Khan remained in detention on Tuesday afternoon, members of the newspaper's staff said. The arrests were a further sign of tension in the poor former British colony less than a week after the government said it had foiled a coup plot and launched a crackdown in which 28 people, including 15 army officers, have been arrested.
My name is Tamsir Jasseh. I have served as Police Adviser and Deputy Inspector General of Police as well as Director General of Immigration. The knowledge that I have of this incident is rather limited and I was able to get this information at the very last minute.Personally, when I looked at the situation, it looked more like there was a plan that was never executed. I was informed about this whole thing by Col. Ndure Cham, whom I’ve known through the services, because I was serving, that he had more like a desire than a plan to overthrow - to change the government.
At least twenty-three alleged coup plotters have been arrested by the security forces after their attempt to toppled the regime of President Yahya Jammeh was foiled. The arrested army officers included Major Sang Pierre Mendy, Captain Muhammed Jah, PRO Captain Bunja Darboe, Lt. Wassa Camara, Sgt. Abdoulie Sanyang, RSM Famara Jammeh, RSM Alpha Bah, Private Lamin Sonko. Lt. Col. Vincent Jatta, a former Chief of Staff and Captain Savage were also reported to have been arrested, although this cannot be confirmed.
BANJUL (Reuters) - Gambia's government said on Wednesday it had uncovered a coup plot led by the country's defence chief and arrested most of those involved, except the military ringleader who was on the run. An official statement announced the conspiracy in the tiny West African country after President Yahya Jammeh had cut short a trip to Mauritania late on Tuesday and returned home. "The security forces discovered in the late hours of yesterday that a group of army officers led by Colonel Ndure Cham, former Chief of Defence Staff, were at an advanced stage in a plot to overthrow the constituted government of the Republic of Gambia," the statement said.
DAKAR, 17 March (IRIN) - Senegal residents are thinking twice before buying anything that needs to be kept cold these days, and many hesitate to leave their homes after sundown. With mass power cuts suddenly the rule rather than the exception, refrigeration, streetlights and all things electrical, are now touch and go. "With these power cuts, I'm asking myself, what do we dare put in the refrigerator?" says Bator Sall, as he plugs in a mobile phone charger at the office, the battery fully drained after an all-night power cut at home.
Prof. Atukwei Okai, Secretary-General of the Pan African Writers' Association (PAWA) has praised the campaign by President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal, for the recognition and integration of the African Diaspora as the sixth region of the African continent. Professor Okai said President Wade's "concern and relentless" drive towards this objective demonstrates a moral leadership quality that is like a baobab tree that goes in search of its roots in order to water them.
