Lutte Sénégalaise : An Ancient Wrestling Art of Strength & Tradition in West Africa

Lutte Sénégalaise, known as “njom” in Serère and “theremb” in Wolof, is a captivating and deeply entrenched traditional sport in Senegal. Rooted in history and cultural significance, it holds a special place in the hearts of the Senegalese people, particularly in the Sine-Saloum and Casamance regions, where it is a celebrated part of their cultural heritage. This contact sport, which also…

Appel de Macky Sall au #dialogue : La position du #PDS

[lboogie1906]

Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop (December 29, 1933 - February 1, 1986) was born in Diourbel, Senegal to a Muslim Wolof family. His family belonged to the African Mouride Islamic sect. Diop grew up in both Koranic and French colonial schools. Upon completing his BA in Senegal, he began his graduate studies at the Sorbonne in physics.

He became involved in the African students’ anticolonial movement. He helped organize the first Pan-African Student Congress in Paris and participated in the First World Congress of Black Writers and Artists in Paris.

His Ph.D. dissertation looked into ancient Egyptian history and the influence it had on European culture. He proclaimed that African civilizations were the inspiration and origin of European accomplishments. The Sorbonne rejected his dissertation, yet his work received worldwide attention. His work was published as Nations Negres et culture, a publication that would make him one of the most known and controversial historians of his era. He was awarded his doctorate by the Sorbonne. Senegal gained its independence and he returned home.

He was appointed a research fellow at Institut Fondamental d’Afrique Noire at Dakar University, where he set up a radiocarbon dating laboratory. He created political opposition parties: Bloc des Masses Sénégalaises and the Front National du Sénégal. The Bloc des Masses was banned. He founded the Rassemblement National Democratique. The RND published the Wolof-language journal, Siggi, of which he was the editor.

He was appointed professor of ancient history at Dakar University. He published several books including seven which were translated into English. His most famous works were The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality; The Cultural Unity of Black Africa, and Towards the African Renaissance: Essays in African Culture and Development, 1946-1960. He received the highest award for scientific research from the Institut Cultural Africain. He was invited to Atlanta, where Mayor Andrew Young proclaimed April 4th “Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop Day.” He had two sons with his wife, Louise Marie Diop Maes. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Culture Lébous Sénégalaise 🇸🇳

Senegal is hands down, one of my favourite countries I’ve visited so far. One thing that stands out is the hospitality of the people and how’ve I’ve been able to learn a little Wollof in a short period of time 😅.

J’apprends que Juan Branco est incarcéré au Sénégal mais qu’il va être extradé vers la France, ce qui va dire que dans quelques semaines il va nous faire une BHL et nous livrer son expérience des « geôles » sénégalaises dans un bouquin de 1200 pages et j’en suis lasse d’avance

As an African and an architecture nerd I'm unbelievably happy this post is doing as well as it is...here are some bonus examples!

(Afro-Contemporary style: Abrehot Library, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia. Fun fact: the second photo is too zoomed-out to see, but each of those main pillars is carved with the word "art" in dozens of languages!)

(Afrofuturist style: National Museum, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, which, despite seeming small from the outside, actually has a 500-seat theatre and a full 295-seat cinema inside.)

(Technically Nubian style but also kind of its own thing: Anakato Old House, Aswan, Egypt. Fun fact: This is actually a hotel!)

(Not a listed style but instead a cool little postcolonial fusion action: Asmara, Eritrea. A lot of stuff you'll see on Asmara and Eritrean architecture in general is leftover European modernist architecture from the colonial period, but I do believe the city has its own unique style that's worth appreciating along with that :) )

Finally, here's a bonus interior architecture thing that I think is really cool:

Urgent : La musique sénégalaise en deuil, Jimmy Mbaye n’est plus

Baba Tandian, ancien président de la Fédération sénégalaise de basketball, dunke sur la tête de Me 𝐁abacar Ndiaye

Monsieur Ndiaye, votre gestion de la FSBB n’a, à mon sens, pas seulement stagné, mais a sérieusement fait régresser le paysage du basket dans notre pays. Le peu de gloire que nous avions a été enterré sous une montagne de dettes et de mystères. Comment peut-on espérer des performances constantes et de haut niveau lorsque la maison est en désordre ? Vos récentes déclarations n’ont fait que…

Fronde au CESE : Idrissa Seck demande à Macky Sall d’agir

[demdread]

The Africans who built Louisiana’s plantations were not just laborers—they were bearers of knowledge and culture.

Originating primarily from West and Central Africa, including the Wolof, Fulbe, Bambara, Mandingo, and many others, enslaved people brought expertise that was essential to the colony’s survival.

Their agricultural skills laid the foundation for Louisiana’s rice and indigo industries, transforming the region’s economy.

Most enslaved people in Louisiana came from Senegambia, near the Senegal and Gambia Rivers, where rice cultivation was a deeply ingrained part of their heritage.

But their contributions went far beyond labor. In the kitchens and quarters of the plantations, they preserved their cultures through food, traditions, music, and storytelling.

The creativity of these individuals were integral to the development of Creole culture, leaving an indelible mark on Louisiana’s history.
