Senegal - Rebellion at Thies - Sarithia Dieye and Canar Fall
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 Canar Fall, Sarithia Dieye and Mody M Baye (Secret Agent who captured Sarithia) Date: 1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures three key figures involved in the Thies Rebellion of 1904 in Senegal: Canar Fall, Sarithia Dieye, and Mody M Baye. The circumstances surrounding the outbreak of this rebellion remain unclear, but it is believed that the sentencing of Diery Fall to 15 days in jail for an unspecified offense led to his assassination of a young colonial officer, Monsieur Chautemps. Two days later, Diery Fall was killed by his own brother, who displayed his head and forearm as a warning to the local population. Sarithia Dieye, another assassin involved in the rebellion, was captured a few days later in St. Mary of Bathurst, Gambia. In this image, Sarithia Dieye is seen being guarded by Mody M Baye, a secret agent who played a crucial role in capturing him. Canar Fall, the head of the Western Baol province, and his associates were all deported to Guyana following the rebellion. The dramatic events of this episode are now largely forgotten, but these remarkable postcards offer a glimpse into a turbulent period of Senegalese history. The photograph, taken in 1904 on the 7th of April, provides a poignant reminder of the complex power dynamics at play during the French colonial era in West Africa. It also highlights the role of individual agency and resistance in the face of colonial authority.
