Senegal - Thies Rebellion, Dieye & Fall complain about food

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" were all deported to Guyana. This photograph shows Dieye and Canar Fall complaining to Monsieur Briffaut (the Dakar Judge) about the bad quality of soup they are receiving in prison. Date: 1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a moment during the aftermath of the Thies Rebellion in Senegal 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 attacking a colonial officer, Monsieur Chautemps. Fall's refusal to accept the charge led to his assassination by his own brother, who brought the officer's head and forearm to the Pouvergue administrator as a warning. Another rebel leader, Sarithia Dieye, was captured a few days later in Gambia. In this image, Dieye and Canar Fall, the head of Western Baol province, are seen complaining to Monsieur Briffaut, the Dakar Judge, about the poor quality of soup they are being served in prison. The rebellion had ended, but the consequences were still being felt. Fall and Dieye, along with their associates, were eventually deported to Guyana as punishment. The photograph provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of life in the colonial prisons of Senegal during this period. It serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often violent history of colonialism and its impact on the lives of those who lived through it.
