Clashes between activists Bby and Pur yesterday killed 3 people in Tambacounda. The 3 victims are from the ruling coalition which accuses the security of the candidate Issa Sall.
Depot District was the scene of operations. Usually very quiet and famous peaceful city, Tamba yesterday plunged into horror. The demons of violence elected their headquarters there, at a time when the candidate El Hadj Sall was expected in the city for a caravan. It was a little after 11am that a fight broke out between militants of Benno bokk yaakaar and those of the Pur. Originally, a story of propaganda posters of torn candidates. "It was the supporters of the Pur who started tearing the posters of our candidate, Macky Sall, in front of my house, uttering more insults. Our young people wanted to react, but I asked them to keep calm. Only, the security of Issa Sall continued to provoke, which ended up irritating our youth who fought back. A fight broke out and he was followed by the death of a man, "says Mamadou Ndiaye, known as" Vieux ", responsible for Bby. This is a young, tailor of his condition, domiciled in the neighborhood Dépôt. "Ibou Diop was killed by Issa Sall's security guards," Bby's youth thundered furiously and furiously. And yet, one informs, he had come to intervene between the protagonists. "They stabbed him on the neck before beating him. That's unacceptable! "They roar in chorus. They swear to avenge their comrade Ibou Diop.
Three dead, burnt vehicles
The assault is then launched to dislodge Issa Sall and his followers entrenched at the Niji Hotel. A pack of determined young people sets out. But it will be without counting with the police, warned, who intervened. At the big crossroads, better known as Stop Bouag Maag, it's the safe-who-can. Young people have turned the city upside down. Tires are burned everywhere and tree trunks are thrown on the roadway to slow down the movements of the police. Young people only have eyes for the hotel. And the procession of the Pur was also determined to crisscross the city in a caravan. The police try to dissuade candidate Sall's camp, who finally decides to suspend the stage of Tambacounda to avoid aggravating the situation. That's how they made the detour to rally Goudiry. But the young people of Bby went to wait for them at the exit of the city for, they repeat again, to avenge Ibou Diop. There too, a second death occurred. Witnesses recount that the procession of the Pur would have darkened on the victim. On the spot, the deceased, Mathieu Touré, was inert and his body awaited the arrival of the firefighters for its transport to the Regional hospital of Tamba. And early evening, another young Bby named Sheikh Ndiaye, also stabbed, succumbed to his injuries in the hospital, swelling the balance to three dead. The material balance is also heavy. In front of the seat of the Pur too, damaged vehicles and motorcycles reduced to ashes. Calm returned in the afternoon, and Tamba has not finished crying his dead.
Injured journalists
The journalists who accompany the candidate of the Pur will not soon forget the bad weather they experienced yesterday during clashes between supporters of Bby and Pur in Tambacounda. Their car was first stoned. A few minutes later, he rushed into other vehicles of the caravan Issa Sall to escape the fury of young people determined to avenge their comrade, Ibou Diop, fatally stabbed by the security of the Pur. The rain of stones shot on the procession reached some of them who escaped with minor injuries. The worst will be lived out of the city. At this level, the journalists were almost caught by the beige-brown wave that no longer made a distinction between Pur activists and the press. Fortunately they managed to change vehicles before Macky Sall's fans set their minicar on fire. Journalists were injured, including a reporter from Rts and others from the Future Media Group. The police disarmed the security of the Pur.
