Mody Niang’s Last Message, 10 Days Before His Death

Former minister Malick Gakou paid tribute to Professor Mody Niang, who died on October 17, 2026, describing him as a patriotic intellectual committed to the Republic’s values. Writing from Geneva, Gakou revealed that Niang had sent him a message ten days earlier praising his commitment and current political stance. They had planned to meet when Gakou returned to Senegal, but Niang’s death meant the reunion would never take place.
