Cheikh Bara Ndiaye contradicts Madiambal Diagne: “It’s false, Moustapha Diop did not call them”

Madiambal Diagne announced on October 16 that he would file a complaint against Cheikh Bara Ndiaye and the Wal Fadjri media group over alleged insults, lies and defamation. He says Walf TV director Moustapha Diop contacted his lawyer, Me Ousmane Thiam, to express regret, but that he will maintain his complaint, which also targets Assane Messere and Walf TV. Cheikh Bara Ndiaye denied the claim on Facebook, saying neither Moustapha Diop nor Cheikh Niass called Diagne or his lawyer. The accounts remain disputed, and the case may proceed in court.

CAS: Stakes over the 2025 African championship title remain unresolved

Senegal beat Morocco 1–0 on January 18, but on March 17 the CAF ruled that the Lions had forfeited after abandoning the field and awarded Morocco a 3–0 victory by default. Senegal’s football federation appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which heard the parties behind closed doors on October 8, with Gérald Simon presiding. No ruling date has been announced: CAS has up to four months after the hearing, while its director general, Matthieu Reeb, said a decision could come within days or weeks. If CAS upholds the forfeit, Morocco will retain the title, with only very limited grounds for an appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal; an online document claiming the title had been awarded to Senegal was identified as fake.

Nourah Ba case: Supplementary judgment, revelations about the document rattling civil registration

In Senegal, a supplementary judgment can allow a birth certificate to be issued when a birth was not registered on time, following judicial review and witness testimony. The certificate can then be used to obtain identity documents and a passport. The document is central to the case involving influencer Mariama Ba, known as Nourah Ba, who was arrested after posts deemed insulting and placed in pretrial detention after a judicial investigation was opened. She denies the allegations, including forgery and use of forged identity documents; requests were reportedly sent to the town hall in Nguidilé.

Summoned but absent: What those who refused Pastef MPs really risk

In June 2025, Senegal’s National Assembly adopted reforms making appearances before investigative committees mandatory and providing for criminal penalties and the use of public force. In decision No. 2/C/2025 on 25 July 2025, the Constitutional Council struck down forced appearances and committees’ ability to refer matters directly to the prosecutor, ruling that these powers encroached on the judiciary. Committees can still summon people, but cannot have them forcibly escorted or impose a criminal penalty for failing to appear. The ruling does not, however, explicitly establish a general right to refuse any summons without consequences.
