Levée du corps du Bâtonnier Yérim Thiam : L'hommage poignant du ministre de la Justice Me Moussa Sarr
It was in an atmosphere of profound solemnity that the Senegalese legal community gathered on November 7, 2026, to pay a final tribute to Bar President Yérim Thiam. Delivering the message of condolence from the highest authorities of the State, the Minister of Justice, Keeper of the Seals, Moussa Sarr, expressed the grief shared by the entire nation. "I carry the condolences of His Excellency the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister, who share in the sorrow of the family and the Bar," he declared.
The son of Doudou Thiam, the first Minister of Foreign Affairs of independent Senegal, Maître Yérim Thiam grew up with a strong sense of the State and the law. Having taken his oath on July 25, 1975, he dedicated more than half a century to the defense. Elected by his peers twice to head the Bar Association, from 1996 to 1998 and then from 1998 to 2000, he exercised this function "with an authority that no one disputed, and a constant concern for the dignity of the legal profession."
"We arrived to learn, we left dazzled."
Recalling the lawyer's commanding presence and courtroom skills, the Minister of Justice evoked the memory of a voice that left its mark on the hearings. "In court, he commanded respect by his mere presence. His stentorian voice filled the courtroom. His pleadings, the secrets of which he alone possessed, combined rigorous reasoning with the force of conviction," testified Mr. Moussa Sarr.
The Minister of Justice also shared a personal memory filled with admiration, recalling his own beginnings in the profession: "It was under his leadership, on February 4, 2000, that I took my oath. As a young lawyer, I never missed, along with my colleagues, the opportunity to attend his memorable pleadings. We arrived to learn. We left dazzled. He was phenomenal. For an entire generation, he was a school and a role model."
Addressing the deceased's widow, his children, and the entire Bar Association, the minister concluded his speech with words imbued with great spirituality: "You have pleaded so many cases before the justice of men. You are now before the Supreme Judge, whose mercy knows no bounds. May your deeds speak for you. May the earth of Gossas rest lightly upon you."

Comme tout le reste de la cohorte maléfique, vous ne peut s' empecher de s' en prendre à Sonko. Cela en devient maladif
Je pense qu'un "NDEUP" collective devrait s'imposer pour certains.
A part cela , une hymne à la gloire de Diagna NDIAYE.
Certainement un autre candidat à une candidature, a qui vous avez pu vous vendre 😂.
Comme vous l'avez deja dit vous-meme dans le journal l'enquete ‘’Tous les journaux que j’ai créés ont fait faillite. Je ne suis donc pas une référence’’, ajoute-t-il pour décourager son interlocutrice. Parmi ces titres : ‘’Boy Dakar’’, ‘’Tract’’, ‘’Trast’’, ‘’Place Publique’’, ‘’Choc Banc Jaxle’’, ‘’Off-Shore’’ et enfin ‘’le P'tit railleur’’.
Cela s'appelle rater sa carriere 😂
Dernier recours: la pr*stitutiOn journalistique.
