The population of Diaobé Kabendou, a locality located in the department of Vélingara, Kolda region, has been living for several weeks in a state of shock and bitterness caused by the cases of tragic deaths. Indeed, after the disappearance followed by the macabre discovery in an abandoned well of the lifeless body of Amadou Diouldé Sall, a 4-month-old baby taken away at night from the hands of his mother plunged into a deep sleep, another young man by the name of Aldiouma Sow was found hanging in his room, Saturday 28 June last. According to the testimonies received from the father and uncle of the deceased, this tragedy follows a disease that Aldiouma would have contracted on the way to school and against which the deceased 17-year-old student fought for a long time. The parents of the second-grade student explain that it was last February, while he was returning from school, that their son revealed that he had been touched in the stomach by an old man he had met on the way. Our interlocutors continue to maintain that since that day, Aldiouma Sow has not ceased to be tormented by pains often accompanied by psychological problems and attempts at suicide. The parents of the deceased add that several treatment approaches from the hospital to traditional practitioners based in Kolda and even in Guinea Conakry were carried out to cure the deceased in vain. Souleymane Sow, the father of the deceased student, also stressed that this suicide attempt that ultimately cost the life of his son, a brilliant student, is not the first. He declared that Aldiouma had once tried to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well before being saved by justice. More details in the video below
