Senegal - The rebellion at Thies - Courtier Coumba Arehn
The circumstances surrounding the outbreak of the Thies rebellion remain obscure. An article at the time said that the rebellion began after the sentencing to 15 days in jail of Diery Fall. He did not accept the charge and with associates, attacked and killed a young colonial officer, Monsieur Chautemps. Two days later, Diery Fall was caught and killed by his own brother who cut off his head and forearm to bring the Pouvergue administrator who had them exposed publicly as a warning and intimidation. Another assassin, Sarithia Dieye was caught a few days later at St. Mary of Bathurst in Gambia. All that remains of this dramatic episode are these remarkable postcards. After being caught on camera, Canar Fall (head of Western Baol province), his brother and " courtiers" (one of which, Coumba Arehn, is pictured here) were all deported to Guyana. Date: 1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Coumba Arehn, a 'courtier' or influential figure in the Western Baol province of Senegal, during the tumultuous events of the Thies rebellion in 1904. The rebellion, which remains shrouded in mystery, is believed to have been sparked by the sentencing of Diery Fall to 15 days in jail for an unspecified offense. Fall and his associates, including Arehn, reportedly reacted violently, attacking and killing a young French colonial officer, Monsieur Chautemps. Two days later, Fall was apprehended and killed by his own brother, who displayed his severed head and forearm as a warning to the local population. Another assassin, Sarithia Dieye, was captured a few days later in neighboring Gambia. The rebellion resulted in the deportation of several prominent Senegalese leaders, including Canar Fall, the head of Western Baol province, and his brother, Meissa Tabara, as well as their courtiers, including Coumba Arehn, who is depicted in this photograph. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the dramatic and violent events of the Thies rebellion, a pivotal moment in the history of French colonial rule in West Africa. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex power dynamics and tensions that existed between colonial authorities and local populations during this period.
