Senegal - The rebellion at Thies - Canar Fall
Canar Fall, head of Western Baol province in Senegal, considered to be the cause of the Thies rebellion of 7th April 1904, photographed having been taken prisoner. 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. The exact role of Canar Fall in this story is unknown. He was probably related to Diery Fall, unless he was simply involved as head of Baol. All that remains of this dramatic episode are these remarkable postcards. After being caught on camera, Canar Fall, his brother and " courtiers" were all deported to Guyana. Date: 1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment after the rebellion at Thies, Senegal in 1904, when Canar Fall, the head of the Western Baol province, was taken prisoner. The circumstances leading to the uprising remain unclear, but it is known that the rebellion began following the sentencing of Diery Fall to 15 days in jail for an unspecified offense. Diery Fall refused to accept the charge and, with associates, attacked and killed a young colonial officer, Monsieur Chautemps. Two days later, Diery Fall was killed by his own brother, who brought the Pouvergue administrator his brother's head and forearm as a warning and intimidation. Another assassin, Sarithia Dieye, was captured a few days later in St. Mary of Bathurst, Gambia. Canar Fall's role in this dramatic episode is uncertain. He may have been related to Diery Fall, or he may have been involved simply as the head of Baol. Regardless, this photograph is a poignant reminder of the rebellion and the consequences of colonial rule in Senegal. After being photographed, Canar Fall, his brother, and "courtiers" were all deported to Guyana. This photograph is part of a collection of remarkable postcards that are all that remains of this significant historical event.
