Cheikh Anta Diop University reopens, students return with Abdoulaye Bâ's memory and quest for justice central
via SeneNews2 min read
Cheikh Anta Diop University UCAD in Dakar has reopened, with students returning to classes after a long interruption. Despite the resumption of academic activities, the memory of Abdoulaye Bâ, a second-year medical student who died on February 9 during demonstrations related to scholarship demands, remains prominent. Five months after his death, the quest for truth and justice continues to resonate on campus. The university's walkways, restaurants, and social areas are once again bustling with students, filling lecture halls and studying in green spaces. This return to normalcy contrasts with the violence and tension that led to the campus's temporary closure earlier in the year. Many students emphasize the necessity of resuming studies to save the academic year, but they also stress that Abdoulaye Bâ has not been forgotten. A fellow medical student stated, "We have resumed classes because we must move forward, but no one has forgotten Abdoulaye. Every time we talk about the February events, his name comes up. We want to finish the year calmly, but we also want the full truth to be revealed."

Must ReadThe Malian army and Russian paramilitaries from the Africa Corps group have retaken the northern Malian town of Anéfis following days of fighting against Tuareg separatists. Rebels and a military source announced the recapture on Friday. On July 4, jihadists from the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims JNIM, affiliated with Al-Qaeda, and the predominantly Tuareg separatists of the Azawad Liberation Front FLA had launched attacks across the country, claiming control of Anéfis. Russian paramilitaries from Africa Corps and some Malian soldiers, entrenched in a military camp in Anéfis since July 4, continued to fight their assailants, primarily FLA members. Russian and Malian army reinforcements arrived on Thursday evening, reclaiming the town, which is located about 100 kilometers from the strategic city of Kidal, controlled by separatists and JNIM. A Malian military source stated that Malian troops and their Africa Corps partners broke through obstacles to reinforce troops already in Anéfis. A convoy of dozens of military vehicles with air support departed from Gao and reached Anéfis despite attacks from the FLA/JNIM coalition en route. The Malian armed forces reported on Facebook that air-ground operations secured the route and the convoy's entry into the locality, neutralizing "nearly a hundred" fighters despite several clashes and ambushes. FLA spokesperson Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane confirmed their decision to leave Anéfis strategically to avoid civilian casualties.
Must ReadAn ongoing cholera epidemic in northeast Nigeria is being exacerbated by insecurity caused by the Islamic State in West Africa ISWAP. Medical sources report an increase in patient numbers and deaths, particularly in the Lake Chad region where ISWAP has significant control. The current outbreak, which began in mid-June, follows a previous wave that caused over 70 deaths in and around Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State. In the past two weeks, new cases have surged in areas like Doro, Bunduram, Baga, Kross Kauwa, and Monguno. A medical source at a clinic in Monguno stated they receive an average of 50 patients daily, with 40% succumbing to the illness. The daily death toll, previously two to five, has worsened due to an influx of patients from isolated farming communities. Cholera, a waterborne disease, thrives in conditions of war, conflict, and poverty prevalent in Borno State, an epicenter of a 17-year jihadist insurgency. Patients from remote areas often arrive in critical condition in Monguno due to long travel distances and lack of immediate care. A night curfew, implemented to prevent attacks, also contributes to higher mortality rates as victims must wait until dawn for treatment. The exact death toll remains unknown, and a spokesperson for the Borno State governor has not yet responded to inquiries.
Must ReadIsrael has reportedly provided intelligence to Washington indicating that Iran is preparing a new plan to assassinate Donald Trump. The Wall Street Journal and CNN reported this development, citing anonymous sources. One CNN source stated that the alert reached American officials this week, while another source confirmed that Israeli intelligence corroborated an Iranian plan already partially detected by US services. The White House did not deny the reports, instead referring to Donald Trump's earlier statements from Wednesday, where he mentioned being on a "list" of targets. The New York Times previously reported that Trump left the NATO summit in Turkey on the former presidential plane, rather than the new one from Qatar, due to security concerns. These leaks about a new plot emerge amid strained relations between Israel and the United States, and their leaders, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, regarding the war in Iran. The US is Israel's primary ally, but Trump has publicly criticized Netanyahu in recent weeks after Israel's war against Hezbollah in Lebanon threatened talks with Iran. American sources cited by CNN suggest that Israel's transmission of this information to the US could be an effort by the Netanyahu government to persuade Donald Trump to continue airstrikes against Iran, which restarted this week. The US assassinated Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq in 2020 during Trump's first term, and Iran has publicly threatened retaliation, in
