Thiès - Triste sort d'un écrivain-poète abandonné dans la rue : Le cri de cœur de Amadou Lamine Sall
"I am saddened and devastated!" This is the cry of distress uttered on Thursday, June 11, 2026, by the writer-poet Amadou Lamine Sall, after listening to the video of one of their own, wrongly abandoned in the streets of the city of two stations, Thiès.
"I have just written to my friend and little brother Abdoulaye Fodé Ndione, the current president of the Association of Writers of Senegal!
Boumy Faye, who is featured in this video of misery, is a friend, a beloved brother, but above all a great poet and great writer!
I asked Ndione, WITHOUT DELAY, to listen to this video and quickly find a way out for our brother Boumy from Thiès.
The Association of WRITERS has a headquarters in Point E which, since President Abdoulaye Wade, under Alioune Badara Bèye, has included a small hotel at the entrance.
I don't know what condition he's in today!
Either we need to go and get Boumy from the street where he is and house him there, or quickly rent him a room in Thiès to protect him from the approaching rainy season!
I would contribute, in my modest way, to paying the monthly rent, along with all the poets and writers who can.
I ask the Mayor of Thiès to act quickly and according to his means.
I am asking the new Minister of Culture, Mr. Thiam, to instruct his Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DAGE) to act quickly and see what can be done. I know that the Department of Culture is not well-funded.
I was devastated by this video! I didn't know our friend and brother Boumy was in this state, on the street, in a fabric tent! It's monstrous!
We'll find him a place to stay BEFORE winter! All together!
Amadou Lamine Sall
