It was on Friday, July 26, 2024 that Alfousseyni Soumaré Alias AL ceremony master, TV presenter and events celebrated his engagement with Djara Rumpentiam born in Guinea Bissau. The bride grew up in Portugal and has been living in France for almost five years. She works as a team manager at a ready-to-wear store. It is the meeting between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau.

Surrounded by their respective families: The Ndonky & Rumpentiam families, the party was beautiful. The celebrations began with the blessing of the parents. After the blessing by the elders, the couple went to the banquet hall where their guests were waiting for them. Dressed in traditional outfits, they made a ceremonial entrance under the eye-catching eyes of guests accompanied by the rhythms of the country. Then there was the parade of outfits for the bride and groom, each one as beautiful as the other. It was beautiful to see.

An exceptional day for the couple who call it the “best day of their lives”. A “special and unforgettable” day.

In the letter of thanks they sent to their guests we can read these warm lines “We are deeply grateful to have such wonderful people in our lives, and we sincerely thank you for all the love and support you have given us. May this magical day remain forever in our memories, and may our love continue to grow and flourish with your precious friendship to guide us.”

The evening was punctuated by performances of artists who sang for the couple including Fafadi, Job sa brain, Tiranké Sidimé de la Guinée, King Nayah john, Oussou Boy, Vlady R.

The whole team of Senenewsdirect.com wishes them absolute happiness.

Once again, our colleague Pape Alé Niang has been arrested and placed in pre-trial detention for a few days. Accused of leaking information prejudicial to national defence and spreading fake news, he had already been imprisoned a few months ago. This time, he is imprisoned under the charge of having launched a “call for insurrection”, shortly after the arrest of the opponent Ousmane Sonko, leader of the Pastef.

The Senegalese Press Club in France first expresses its support and compassion to Pope Alé Niang, detained since July 29, 2023, he began a hunger strike to denounce the injustice he is a victim.

We draw the attention of national and international opinion to the very precarious state of health of Pope Alé Niang. We strongly denounce his arrest as a flagrant violation of press freedom and freedom of expression.

We therefore call for the immediate and unconditional release of Pope Alé Niang, whose health cannot be compatible with detention and is deteriorating day by day.

We remind the Senegalese authorities of the importance of guaranteeing citizens’ right to information and respecting democratic principles.
The Senegalese press club in France does not rule out bringing to justice the Senegalese authorities who have endangered the life of a journalist.
The life of Pape Alé NIANG is in the hands of the regime of Macky SALL!

Burkinabe authorities ordered the cessation of France 24’s broadcasts following an interview with the head of the North African branch of the Al-Qaeda group, Aqim. The French channel deplores the decision.

In a statement available on its website, the French media “challenges the unfounded accusations” put forward by the Burkinabe authorities to justify their decision, this Thursday, June 30, 2023.

At the reproach of the Burkinabe government for having granted an interview to the head of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (Aqmi), France 24 replies that it did not grant him an interview directly, “taking care to recount his remarks in the form of a chronicle allowing the necessary distancing and contextualization.”
