After the tribute ceremony this Sunday, August 4 in Conakry, the funeral procession joined this night the locality of Mamou, 300 km from the capital, where is scheduled the funeral prayer on Monday followed by the burial in Bolaro, birthplace of the deceased.
Welcomed in silence in the early morning to Mamou, the capital of the region that saw it born 31 years ago, wrapped in a thick fog significantly reducing the visibility of residents and visitors, the body of Mamoudou Barry quietly rests in waiting for the mortuary prayer at the Almamya Grand Mosque, in the city center.
After this prayer led by the great imam of the city, the procession will head to the sub-prefecture of Dounet about thirty kilometers from downtown Mamou. The localities of Diatabaya, Hamdallaye, Kalia and Soloya will first receive and accompany the funeral procession before the final stage of Bolaro, where he will be buried at 14h.
There, the mobilization of people, young and old, men and women is " total ", they say. If the young Mamoudou was known in the West for his masters and doctorate degrees, here he was also known for memorizing the Qur'an. So there are disciples on the spot who will be inconsolable.
