The famous Guinean couple formed by singer Soul Bangs and his wife Manamba experienced a tumultuous misfortune last weekend at the Dakar airport in Senegal.
As they returned from the "Chant des Linguère" festival organized by Senegalese star Coumba Gawlo Seck, Soul Bangs and Manamba found themselves at the heart of an incident with Senegal's border police.
In a video that became viral on social networks, you can see Soul Bangs emotionally telling the failures they experienced. Visibly very affected, he explains that it all started out of a routine question of the police that Manamba was unable to answer.
Not knowing the address of their accommodation in Dakar, this triggered an escalation of tensions leading to a physical altercation.
Soul Bangs strongly condemns the police's aggressive attitude and lack of respect towards them. He calls this an intolerable "abuse of power". For his part, the Guinean Minister for Foreign Affairs intervened to alleviate tensions and find a friendly solution with the Senegalese authorities.
The incident caused a wave of indignation on Guinea's social networks. Many see it as a new example of the "discriminatory" treatment that Guinean nationals are sometimes subjected to by the Senegalese police.
For their part, Soul Bangs and Manamba called for calm and calm, stressing that this does not jeopardize the friendship between the people of Guinea and Senegal. They thank their fans for their support in this challenge.
It is hoped that this unfortunate incident will leave no trace and that the star couple will soon be able to return to Senegal in better conditions. Their talent and artistic radiance deserve to be celebrated!
