Author Gallia Daily – Voice of France

In December 2020, the American newspaper “Time” made Assa Traoré, a Malian living in France, the spokesperson and symbol of the global anti-racist struggle.

Assa Traoré is the sister of Adama Traoré, who died in 2016 while in police custody. Since that day, the man’s sister has been claiming that he was killed by systemic racism and police violence. She thus launched a movement similar to Black Lives Matter, the “Adama Committee” (Comité Adama)

The story sounds beautiful… The story of a strong African woman who resists the racist white French state in the name of her brother’s memory… Yet, the reality is much darker and “Time” has fallen into the trap.

Let us return to the Traoré affair, the death of the brother and the false fight of the sister. Gallia Daily will tell you everything.

1) Who was Adama Traoré?

Adama Traoré was a black Malian living in France. He was overweight and suffered from a serious disease, Sickle Cell Disease. (source)

He has been convicted several times of drug trafficking and money extortion from vulnerable people (elderly, disabled persons). He was known to the police for his violent behaviour and had a pronounced drug addiction. (source)

While in prison, he repeatedly raped another man, a fragile inmate with psychological problems. In particular, Adama Traoré forced the detainee to perform fellatio on him. (source).

2) Who is the Traoré family?

The Traoré family is a family of Muslim Malians. They come from the province of Kayes, Mali, where the Traore family held high office (governor). The family belongs to the Soninke ethnic group, particularly known for having been at the heart of an important slave trade: it was the Soninke nobles who rounded up members of other ethnic groups to sell them to slave traders. Some Soninke nobles still practice slavery. (source)

The family’s record in France is no more glorious: the family is polygamous, according to Muslim tradition, and therefore has many children. Most of them have already been convicted of violence and drug trafficking. Cumulatively, they have spent nearly 100 months in prison. Recently, Adama Traoré’s brother, for example, was again sentenced to 4 years in prison. And at the time of writing these lines, Adama Traoré’s other brother has just died during a chase after a motorcycle theft. (source 1 ; source 2 ; source 3)

We are therefore dealing with a family from an ethnic group that practices slavery in Mali and is at the heart of an organized crime network in France. Continue reading →
