In the department of Médina Yoro Foulah, region of Kolda, a teenage girl has given herself death by hanging. The events occurred yesterday, Monday 23 June, in the village of Sinthiang Mamadou Hayé, commune of Koulinto. Ousseye Baldé comme c’est d’elle qu’il s’agit, a été retrouvée morte suspendue à une branche d’un arbre fruitier à l’aide de son foulard. Ousseye Baldé, as it is she who is in question, was found dead suspended to a branch of a fruit tree with the help of her scarf. Proposed to a marriage with an expatriate, the young girl who abandoned her studies in the sixth grade at the college of Diambanouta, did not appreciate the attitude of her parents. To refuse categorically this marriage, Ousseye Baldé aged only 15 years, committed suicide not far from the family home. According to our informant, her parents wanted to give her a husband because she had abandoned her studies and wandered from village to village in the various festive ceremonies. The macabre discovery plunged the whole country into total shock and dismay.
