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 ?
On September 25th, just a few hours before leaving Senegal after a 3-year mission as IMF Resident Representative in Senegal, Alex Segura was invited to a farewell dinner by the President of his host country. Little did he know that the quality time he was going to enjoy with President Abdoulaye Wade was going to have sour and perhaps lasting repercussions on him and the institution he is working for. The two suitcases with “substantial amount of money” he was given at the end of his “high-profile hang out” are at the centre of a huge controversy between Senegal and the IMF.
DAKAR, 19 December (IRIN) - When floods in August 2005 made some of Dakar's most impoverished suburbs uninhabitable, Senegal's long-standing plan to transform its slums into modern housing took on a new urgency. With at least 20,000 people suddenly homeless, the government announced an emergency plan costing 52 billion CFA (US $ 104 million) to build 4,000 cement homes, set neatly in rows with electricity and running water. "Henceforth people should be able to rise above [their poverty]," said Senegalese President Abdulaye Wade. He called the plan "Jaxaay", which means "eagle" in the local language of Wolof, because it would help Senegalese become "the bird which flies the highest".
ZIGUINCHOR, 5 Dec 2006 (IRIN) - One person was dead on Tuesday following an armed attack on vehicles in the southern Casamance region just over two weeks after President Abdoulaye Wade asked local elders to help end the rebellion. About 20 men on Monday night ambushed five vehicles on a road 80 km north of the regional capital, Ziguinchor, and robbed the occupants, hospital sources said. One of the passengers died and five others were injured. Two people sustained gunshot wounds in another attack on a car near the village of Manpalago, 60 km north of Ziguinchor, one of the passengers told IRIN.
Senegal has made headlines as a departure point for people desperate to emigrate to Europe and the United States. But for many West Africans, Senegal, and particularly its capital, Dakar, is a destination in itself. The small gravel courtyard in front of Muhammed Serif Diallo's house is full of friends watching the Chelsea-Barcelona soccer match on TV. He, like his uncle sitting in the back of the crowd, and several others there, is from Guinea. But Senegal, not Guinea, is the location of the quiet road in which these men sit and cheer. They have all moved to Senegal's capital, Dakar, in the hopes of making a better living.
Women in West Africa have implemented many types of informal banking as a result of not having access to regular credit. Some of these innovations are used to start or expand local businesses while others cover more basic needs, like a baptism or a funeral. On the tiny island of Carabane, Khady Ndiaye and her eldest daughter Sophie bustle around her well-stocked store. Boutiques like these are common throughout the West African nation - a one-stop shop for all household goods. It is rare, however, to see a woman behind the counter.
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."
A hard-hitting song accusing Senegal's government of forcing young people to risk their lives to seek their fortunes abroad has been an internet success - ahead of its official release planned later this week. The rap song Sunugaal, which means Our Canoe in the Wolof language, has been set to a slideshow of photographs showing the faces of miserable migrants arriving in rickety wooden boats in the Canary Islands, after a perilous 100km (60-mile) journey across the Atlantic Ocean.
MADRID, June 1 — A day after agreeing to accept back hundreds of its citizens who have been streaming illegally into Spain in recent weeks, the government of Senegal suspended the agreement today, because of reports that the deportees were being mistreated by Spanish authorities, a Spanish diplomat said. According to Spanish news agencies, officials in Dakar, the capital of Senegal, said that many of the migrants who were deported from Spain on Wednesday were handcuffed by Spanish police and were tricked into believing they were being moved to other places within Spain rather than back to Senegal. The Spanish diplomat, who spoke only on the condition that he not be named because he lacks authority to comment publicly about government business, said that the Senegalese government had expressed its commitment to resolving the issue as soon as possible, so that the repatriations could resume.
MBOUR, 31 May 2006 (IRIN) - In this busy fishing port south of the Senegalese capital, the talk is all about the lack of fish and cash and the fortunes waiting to be made in the murky waters of illegal migration. Mbour, a bustling smelly town 80 kilometres south of Dakar, lies a bare 1,500 kilometres – just a few days’ boat-ride away - from Spain’s Canary Islands, believed to be the Atlantic ocean gateway to a life of plenty in Europe, for those who make it across the seas.The long wooden boats painted in bright blues and yellows and reds that ferry growing numbers of would-be migrants from Senegal’s beaches to the high seas, are called “Mbeukk-mi”, or wave-crashers in Woloff, and are crafted here and elsewhere along the Senegalese shoreline.
DAKAR, 31 May 2006 (IRIN) - As more and more young men from Senegal climb into fishing boats in the hopes of making it to Europe, efforts are growing to keep the legions of would-be migrants safe at home on dry land. “We can’t just stand here and let these people leave to drown in the Atlantic,” said Amadou Mountaga Sarr.“We must warn them about the danger and tell them what’s really out there,” added Sarr, news editor of a community radio station called Oxyjeunes that operates from a shantytown outside Dakar.
Dakar, SENEGAL - Senegal, Africa's westernmost country, has become a major new departure point for thousands of mainly young West Africans seeking a better life in Europe, an official of the International Organization for Migration said Friday. The migrants are leaving from various points along Senegal's coast, crowded into wooden fishing boats in groups of up to 60, for a perilous sea journey to Spain's Canary Islands, about 1,350 kilometers, or 840 miles, to the north, said Vijaya Souri, program officer in the organization's office here.
A small, troubled high school in East Harlem seemed an unlikely place to find students for a nationwide robot-building contest, but when a neighborhood after-school program started a team last winter, 19 students signed up. One was Amadou Ly, a senior who had been fending for himself since he was 14. The project had only one computer and no real work space. Engineering advice came from an elevator mechanic and a machinist's son without a college degree. But in an upset that astonished its sponsors, the rookie team from East Harlem won the regional competition last month, beating rivals from elite schools like Stuyvesant in Manhattan and the Bronx High School of Science for a chance to compete in the national robotics finals in Atlanta that begins tomorrow.
Immigration policy was a major focus of President Bush's agenda when he began his first term in office in 2001. His plan centered around the creation of a guest worker program for foreign workers. Then came 9/11. In the wake of the terrorism attacks, the discourse shifted, from providing paths to citizenship for those already in the country illegally to strengthening borders in the name of national security. Now, in a midterm election year, the issue has returned to prominence on Capitol Hill. The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved, on a 12-to-6 vote, a plan that would allow illegal immigrants to earn citizenship, while also tightening border security and enforcing existing bans on the hiring of undocumented workers.
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.
A farm in southern Senegal is attracting many curious visitors because of its livestock usually associated with witchcraft. Gerald Wartraux rears crocodiles and other reptiles such as snakes and tropical lizards. "Just like most families in southern Senegal who keep chickens at home to sell and eat, I keep these crocodiles," he says. The French zoologist says the year-old peace deal in the region has helped boost the number of tourists to Djibelor Farm, which is just outside Zinguinchor, the main city in the Casamance region.
