The Alliance for the Republic (APR) has raised the alarm over the disappearance of its activist Aïcha Mbodj, known as “Gaïndé Macky,” and urged authorities to mobilize the resources needed to find her safe and sound. Her relatives have had no news of her since Wednesday, October 14, at around 7 p.m. She was reportedly last seen in Ouest-Foire, Dakar, wearing a black dress and a white headscarf. Searches by those close to her have not found her, prompting concern among her family, friends and fellow APR members.
