In Senegal, the name of Kocc Barma evoked the wisdom of the past. Today, it is disturbing. He alone embodies the fracture between the legacy of a popular philosopher and the drifts of a society where digital anonymity liberates the most destructive instincts. On the one hand, Kocc Barma Fall, thinker of the 17th century, whose maxims cross the ages as ethical standards. On the other hand, El Hadj Babacar Dioum, accused of being “Kocc”, a shadowy figure who has become infamous for orchestrating the massive dissemination of intimate content for the purpose of extortion, blackmail or revenge. I advocated decency and truth. L’autre is a fait de l’humiliation and an economy. One addressed to the powerful to awaken their consciences.
”Un Kocc peut en cacher un autre” (Par Fatou Warkha SAMBE) is a French song written by Fatou Warkha.
