Solidarité Korité : Chaque famille de supporter détenu au Maroc reçoit 1 million de FCFA de la LONASE
The Senegalese National Lottery (LONASE) presented a check for 1 million CFA francs to each of the families of the 18 Senegalese supporters detained in Morocco on Tuesday, March 17, 2026. These supporters have been imprisoned since the incidents that occurred during the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). This financial assistance, presented at the LONASE headquarters, is part of the government's call for national solidarity and aims to support the families of the detainees during this difficult time.
"They deserve the nation's honors."
During the ceremony, the Director General of LONASE, Dr. Toussaint Manga, expressed the country's gratitude to these citizens.
“I would like to express here the nation’s pride in these 18 supporters who are true ‘Gaindés’ and who, unfortunately, are now in detention. I believe the whole nation is proud of them. They represented Senegal with dignity and they deserve all the nation’s honors,” he said.
The director also wished to thank the key players in the management of this case, including the Senegalese ambassador to Morocco and the lawyer in charge of the defense.
"I thank the ambassador who has truly worked tirelessly to provide us with all the necessary information and guidance in the context of this support that we wished to offer to the supporters," he added.
A relief tinged with sadness for the families
The families' representative, Assane Dièye, expressed his gratitude to LONASE and the Senegalese authorities, while also acknowledging the pain of their loved ones' absence. "We feel a sense of joy but also of sorrow, because our sons are still being held in Morocco. We would have liked them to be free so that we could spend the holidays together," he said.
In total, LONASE disbursed 18 million FCFA. This initiative is part of the company's social mission, which regularly commits to supporting Senegalese people in difficulty, both nationally and internationally.
