Cosaan Seereer: History of the Joof Dynasty of Siin and Baol (27 Nov 2021)

On today's show, the panel and their guests discusses the Joof Dynasty - one of the oldest noble families from the Senegambia region that had ruled three great kingdoms: Baol, Siin, and Saluum for centuries - taking over from their ancient lamanic ancestors. This family has produced some of Senegambia's greatest kings as well as some of its most colourful ones. Another special guest Sering Diouf (aka. Jaraaf Baol) also joins us to shed some light on the history of this family from a Baol-Baol perspective, whilst Mamadou Faye gave us the Siin-Siin perspective. Tamsier Joof is the one asking the questions with his colleague Diokel Laba Ngom who joined later.

This programme was scheduled for last year but due to the guest's personal committments the programme had to be deferred.

Open Mic: Gambian politician, lawyer and serial rapist Melville Robertson Roberts

Open Mic is a no-holds-barred talk show where you, the listener sets the agenda. Call the show and talk about anything and everything. Callers are not screened. Want to talk about politics, economics, history, social issues affecting the Seereer people of Senegal, Gambia or Mauritania? Whatever it is, call in and make yourself heard.

On this special show, Tamsier Joof is joined by Macaire Ndiaye (DJ Mac) to discuss the rape case of Gambian Foreign Affair senior officer and lawyer Melville Robertson Roberts accused of rape by 5 independent women. For 2 years (from 2019), his friends in power - including the political elite, those in law/judiciary, as well as sections of the Gambian media have tried to protect him and bury the case instead of bringing it to trial. The Gambian authorities are so fearful of bringing him to justice that they declared the case "untouchable" despite the numerous testimonies and evidence presented by his victims. For 2 years, his victims have been denied justice. If you've missed the live show, listen to it again as Tamsier and Macaire delve deeper into the rape case of this disgraced University of Oxford alumni.

Tribute to the late Ebou Corr by Sulayman Ndong of Star FM (Gambia) and Ebou Njie

This is a special tribute to the late Gambian historian and broadcaster Ebou Corr by Sulayman Ndong of Star FM 96.6 (Gambia) and Ebou Njie, President of the Ndef Leng Association in the Gambia. Ebou Corr sadly passed away on Sunday, 19 July 2020 in the Gambia. He was a Gambian historian and broadcaster, and the first broadcaster to present Seereer history programmes (in Seereer) at Radio Gambia and Gambia Radio & Television Service (GRTS). He had worked for the Gambian public broacaster for nearly 40 years. He was also the coordinator of the Ndef Leng Association in the Gambia, and the first Gambian to play host to the Agaire and Jambonge Association (a Jola and Seereer organisation founded in Senegal - in remembrance of their ancient blood ties).

The Seereer Resource Centre (SRC), Seereer Radio, and Seereer Heritage Press issued a joint tribute to Ebou Corr on their Facebook pages few hours after his passing, having confirmed his death from a reliable source. Our previous Cosaan Seereer programmed broadcast on Saturday, 25 July 2020 was dedicated to Ebou Corr. Tamsier Joof, the main presenter of that show, and a member of the Ndef Leng Association in the Gambia opened the show with a personal tribute to his late colleague Ebou Corr. Our heartfeld and sincere condolences goes out to his family and the Seereer community of the Gambia, and to all Gambians. He had dedicated nearly 40 years of his life teaching and educating us about Seereer history, and for that we are immensely grateful. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Cosaan Seereer : Interview with Mamadou Faye (18 July 2020). Commemorating the 153rd anniversary of the Battle of Fandane-Thiouthioune

Listen again to our live interview with researcher/historian Mamadou Faye, a young Seereer knowledgable and passionate about Seereer history especially the history of Siin. Mamadou Faye is taking social media by storm especially with his consistent video content on YouTube on matters relating to the history of Siin and its royal dynasties. This is the first part of a series of interviews with Mamadou Faye relating to the history of Siin. Today marks the 153rd anniversary of the Battle of Fandane-Thiouthioune (18 July 1867) - also known as the Battle of Somb - where the King of Siin - Maad a Sinig Kumba Ndoofeen fa Maak Juuf defeated Maba Jaaxu Bâ and his ally forces, and the battle in which Maba was killed. On this show, the panel discusses the surprised attack of the Seereers by the Senegambian Muslim forces at Mbin o Ngor (also known as Mbetan Kerr Ngor) in April 1867. That surprised attack precipitated the historic Battle of Fandane-Thiouthioune.

Thank you for tuning in to the Seereer Resource Centre (SRC) and Seereer Radio's podcast website. Seereer Radio's weekly schedule can be found by clicking on the Seereer Radio - Weekly Schedule Link (see "Links" section below). From that link, you can read all about our shows and their presenters and leave comments on each show. If you enjoy what we do, please don't forget to like, follow and share with family and friends. You can also comment on an episode by clicking the comment button below the episode. The "Download transcript « Télécharger la transcription »" section allows you to download a transcript of the audio in English, French, Seereer a Sinig, Saafi-Saafi, Ndut, Sili-Sili, Noon and Laalaa. To download other transcripts and articles relating to the Seereer people of Senegal, The Gambia and Mauritania, visit the Seereer Resource Centre's download page - see links below. Please note that not all our transcripts are free. We make a lot of effort in providing you free content here and our other online platforms. However, we are also trying to raise money in order to continue doing what we do, but most importantly, to honour the legacy of the late Professor Issa Laye Thiaw by building a Seereer learning and cultural centre and museum that will teach Seereer religion, culture, history and traditional medicine to those who wish to learn. This project is known as The Seereer Resource Centre and The Temple of Initiated Women (SCRTIW). You can visit the SRC's website to learn more about this project. Along with that, we also need to raise funds in order to increase economic development in Seereer country. We are the only media platform in the Senegambia region and on the internet that gives Seereer religion and other Traditional African religions any airtime and a positive, yet objective, non-discriminatory coverage. This is not an easy task especially within the Senegambia which is predominantly Muslim and Christian according to statistics. It is a very lonely job but as Professor Issa Laye Thaiw used to say: "the truth must come out" , and as our founder Tamsier Joof used to say: "One cannot love Seereer history and culture yet despise Seereer religion. Seereer history and culture are closely linked to Seereer religion and cannot be separated from it. The true history and culture of the Seereer people is embedded in Seereer religion. And in similarity, the true history and culture of the African people is embedded in the Traditional African religions. To truly understand and appreciate our great history and culture, we must first love, respect and honour the religion of our forefathers in its orthodox form, free from any syncretism or dilution." If you support our vision, we welcome your support either through buying our books and CDs from our publishing house - Seereer Heritage Press (see link below) or by donating to our SRCTIW project or other initiatives.
