Intellectuel, artiste et militant politique s\u00e9n\u00e9galais. En lutte contre le contr\u00f4le de la France sur le S\u00e9n\u00e9gal postind\u00e9pendance, sous Leopold S\u00e9dar Senghor.<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 \u00e0 Niamey le 18 septembre 1946 il est en 1966 Premier s\u00e9n\u00e9galais admis \u00e0 l'\u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure de Saint-Cloud - au contraire de Senghor qui a \u00e9chou\u00e9 plusieurs ann\u00e9es auparavant-.

En 1967, il joue dans La Chinoise dans le r\u00f4le du \u00ab camarade X \u00bb, militant mao\u00efste noir du cin\u00e9aste Jean-Luc Goddard. L\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, il prend activement part au mouvement de Mai 68 en France et du mouvement contestataire post-1968 au S\u00e9n\u00e9gal, contre pr\u00e9sident s\u00e9n\u00e9galais L\u00e9opold S\u00e9dar Senghor<\/p>\n

En octobre 1969, sur le chemin du retour de vacances estivales au S\u00e9n\u00e9gal, Omar Blondin Diop est refoul\u00e9 du territoire fran\u00e7ais pour ses activit\u00e9s politiques de l\u2019ann\u00e9e pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente. Il sera r\u00e9admis en France l\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, sur intervention du pr\u00e9sident Senghor, Omar Blondin Diop est r\u00e9admis en France en octobre, mais ne r\u00e9int\u00e8gre pas l\u2019\u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure de Saint-Cloud, dont il estime que la formation produit des \u00ab petits monstres de connaissances livresques et de pr\u00e9tention grotesque \u00bb<\/p>\n

1971, <\/strong>1971 : Dans la nuit du 15 au 16 janvier pour protester contre des travaux d\u00e9mesur\u00e9s des grandes art\u00e8res de la capitale s\u00e9n\u00e9galaise pour une visite-\u00e9clair du pr\u00e9sident fran\u00e7ais Georges Pompidou \u00e0 Dakar, un groupe d\u2019une quinzaine de militants inspir\u00e9s du Black Panther Party et des Tupamaros uruguayens, dont deux fr\u00e8res cadets d\u2019Omar Blondin Diop, incendient le Centre culturel fran\u00e7ais et une annexe du minist\u00e8re des Travaux publics. Trois semaines plus tard, ils pr\u00e9voient un attentat sur le cort\u00e8ge pr\u00e9sidentiel mais sont arr\u00eat\u00e9s avant de pouvoir passer \u00e0 l\u2019action.<\/p>\n

Quittant aussit\u00f4t Paris, Omar Blondin Diop projette de lib\u00e9rer ses jeunes fr\u00e8res et camarades \u00e0 la suite d\u2019une formation \u00e0 la lutte arm\u00e9e. Avec plusieurs amis, il se rend dans un camp du Fatah en Syrie, \u00e0 une trentaine de kilom\u00e8tres de Damas, o\u00f9 il apprend le maniement des armes, de jour comme de nuit, nourri de pain sec, d\u2019olives, et de th\u00e9. Le groupe se dirige ensuite vers Alger, alors \u00ab capitale de la r\u00e9volution mondiale \u00bb, lieu de convergence des mouvements de lib\u00e9ration de l\u2019\u00e9poque, o\u00f9 le Black Panther Party a ouvert un bureau international. Leur plan est d\u2019enlever l\u2019ambassadeur de France au S\u00e9n\u00e9gal en \u00e9change de leurs camarades emprisonn\u00e9s gr\u00e2ce au soutien logistique du Front de lib\u00e9ration nationale alg\u00e9rien. Mais les dirigeants afro-am\u00e9ricains Eldridge Cleaver et Huey Newton sont en crise ouverte et le Black Panther Party en exil ne peut assurer la mise en contact. Apr\u00e8s une escale \u00e0 Conakry, Omar Blondin Diop s\u2019installe \u00e0 Bamako, o\u00f9 r\u00e9side une partie de sa famille. Il y fr\u00e9quente des jeunes sensibles au marxisme, en particulier les enfants d\u2019ex-dirigeants du r\u00e9gime d\u00e9chu de Modibo Ke\u00efta.<\/p>\n

1971 : En fin novembre, \u00e0 la veille d\u2019une visite officielle du pr\u00e9sident Senghor au Mali, la junte militaire de Moussa Traor\u00e9 proc\u00e8de \u00e0 l\u2019arrestation pr\u00e9ventive d\u2019exil\u00e9s politiques, parmi lesquels Omar Blondin Diop.<\/p>\n

1971<\/strong>En fin novembre, \u00e0 la veille d\u2019une visite officielle du pr\u00e9sident Senghor au Mali, la junte militaire de Moussa Traor\u00e9 proc\u00e8de \u00e0 l\u2019arrestation pr\u00e9ventive d\u2019exil\u00e9s politiques, parmi lesquels Omar Blondin Diop.<\/p>\n

1972<\/strong>: Extradited to Senegal, he is sentenced on March 23 by the Senegalese Special Tribunal to 3 years in prison for “undermining state security”. He is imprisoned in the prison on Gor\u00e9e Island and sent to disciplinary cells several times after altercations with prison guards. Interior Minister Jean Collin, a former French colonial administrator who became a Senegalese leader after independence (and President Senghor\u2019s nephew-in-law by marriage) expressly ordered them to be uncompromising towards political prisoners affiliated with the \u201cBlondin Diop brothers\u201d.<\/p>\n

1973<\/strong>, le 11 mai, l\u2019administration p\u00e9nitentiaire s\u00e9n\u00e9galaise annonce la mort d\u2019Omar Blondin Diop, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e comme un \u00ab suicide \u00bb par pendaison. La nouvelle provoque une intense col\u00e8re populaire, rappelant les journ\u00e9es de feu de Mai 68. Le 12 mai, l\u2019inhumation du corps du d\u00e9funt organis\u00e9e par le ministre de l\u2019Int\u00e9rieur Jean Collin est effectu\u00e9e par des policiers anti-\u00e9meute \u00e0 la-va-vite.<\/p>\n

Il est mort en prison, assassin\u00e9 par un ministre fran\u00e7ais du S\u00e9n\u00e9gal soi-disant ind\u00e9pendant, sur une ile d\u2019o\u00f9 ses propres anc\u00eatres, partaient pour l\u2019Am\u00e9rique dans les cales des bateaux\u2026 tout un symbole.<\/p>\n

Le 1er juin, en r\u00e9action \u00e0 la pression internationale, le pr\u00e9sident Senghor tient une conf\u00e9rence de presse \u00e0 Paris au cours de laquelle il d\u00e9clarait avoir le sentiment d\u2019\u00eatre manipul\u00e9. Quelques jours plus tard, le 6 juin, le p\u00e8re d\u2019Omar Blondin Diop, qui avait assist\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019autopsie du corps et constat\u00e9 \u00ab plusieurs traumatismes violents port\u00e9s dans les r\u00e9gions bulbaire et lombo-sacr\u00e9e ayant entra\u00een\u00e9 une forte commotion c\u00e9r\u00e9brale \u00bb, porte plainte contre X pour \u00ab coups et blessures volontaires ayant entrain\u00e9 la mort et non-assistance \u00e0 personne en danger \u00bb17. Le juge d\u2019instruction Moustapha Tour\u00e9 m\u00e8ne son enqu\u00eate et rel\u00e8ve des irr\u00e9gularit\u00e9s dans la main courante de la prison : Omar Blondin Diop s\u2019\u00e9vanouit la semaine pr\u00e9c\u00e9dant l\u2019annonce de sa mort et l\u2019administration p\u00e9nitentiaire ne prit aucune mesure pour le soigner. Le juge entame alors l\u2019inculpation de plusieurs gardes p\u00e9nitentiaires mais n\u2019ira pas au bout, il est \u00e9cart\u00e9 de l\u2019affaire, et remplace par le juge Elias Dosseh qui mettra fin aux poursuites judiciaires en d\u00e9livrant une \u00ab ordonnance d\u2019incomp\u00e9tence \u00bb.<\/p>\n

Ses activit\u00e9s militantes et politiques m\u00e9ritaient-elles son assassinat ? Le Che Guevara francophone, aurait eu 78ans aujourd\u2019hui. Et personne n\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 condamn\u00e9 \u00e0 ce jour pour son assassinat sous le r\u00e9gime de celui qu\u2019on appelait le po\u00e8te -pr\u00e9sident.<\/p>\n

Since 1973<\/strong>: despite an endless series of complaints filed by his family and friends, particularly in 2013, on the fortieth anniversary of his death, the case of Omar Blondin Diop’s death has never been reopened. Despite the changes of regime and successive presidents, notably the socialist government of Abdoulaye Wade. Omar Blondin Diop has become a symbol of resistance for a section of Senegalese youth today, and his photo was resurfaced during anti-imperialist demonstrations.<\/p>\n
