Marina Ferrari, Minister of Sports, Youth and Associative Life, has called for increased vigilance and individual responsibility ahead of the quarter-final match between France and Morocco in the 2026 World Cup. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a festive spirit during the encounter, noting that as the tournament progresses to the final phases, the risk of disturbances increases. The Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nunez, has already requested enhanced security measures for upcoming World Cup matches, stating that "no overflow will be tolerated." This directive was sent to prefects and heads of police, gendarmerie, the Paris police prefecture, and internal security on July 1. Ferrari reiterated these instructions, mentioning clear directives to prefectures to strengthen security, be extremely vigilant, intervene quickly, and not tolerate any disturbances, including potentially banning alcohol sales in public spaces. She concluded by expressing hope that the evening would remain a celebration of sport. In Paris, an extension of terrace hours until 2 AM was proposed by the Mayor, as an alternative to a fan zone, allowing for extended opening hours in private establishments. Prior to the World Cup, the National Directorate of Public Security had warned of potential disturbances across the country, such as noisy processions, motorized rodeos, spontaneous public gatherings, and the use of fireworks, particularly around matches involving Morocco, Algeria, or Turkey.
Must ReadChildren in Dakar are deeply involved in small-scale commerce under precarious conditions, where poverty and exploitation are intertwined. Abdou Sall, an 11-year-old talib茅, exemplifies this reality, navigating survival and aspirations amidst the bustling markets of the city. In Dakar, the landscape of certain neighborhoods is shaped by the hurried footsteps of children who frequent the markets from early morning. Among makeshift stalls, crowded alleys, and major intersections, minors are increasingly visible in street vending. This situation is driven by family poverty, inadequate public responses, and difficulties in implementing child protection measures. In the Senegalese capital, thousands of children facing precarious situations are forced to work, compromising their access to education, health, and future prospects. In the early morning, as the city slowly awakens, the "Gueule Tap茅e" market, located at the Case Ba roundabout in Parcelles Assainies, resumes its usual hustle. Merchants set up their goods, customers begin to arrive, and the scent of spices fills the air. Amidst this activity, the presence of children seems to have become an ordinary sight. In the market aisles, children navigate between survival and exploitation, working as street vendors, porters, garbage collectors, or beggars, despite their young age. With determination, they weave through the stalls, enduring dust, fatigue, and the risks associated with their activities. Some, particularly talib茅 chil
Must ReadJudicial proceedings concerning alleged homosexual acts are intensifying in Senegal. In Dakar, Pape Cheikh Diallo, Djiby Dram茅, and others arrested in connection with an investigation are being presented to an examining magistrate. Concurrently, in Thi猫s, four men have been referred to the public prosecutor's office for alleged "unnatural acts." These four men in Thi猫s were arrested last weekend in an apartment during a police intervention and placed in police custody, with several items seized for the investigation. After an initial referral to the prosecutor, they were again presented to a magistrate who will decide on the next judicial steps. These simultaneous presentations before the judiciary in both Dakar and Thi猫s raise questions about possible coordination of investigations or the extent of the alleged network dismantled. The suspects, appearing for "unnatural acts," face penalties ranging from one to five years of imprisonment under Article 319 of the Senegalese penal code. These cases are highly sensitive within Senegal's social and religious context and are closely monitored by human rights organizations, which frequently denounce targeted repression of LGBTQ+ individuals. The justice system continues its work, while public opinion remains divided on these moral issues.
