Croyances: Bambara, Soninké et Peulh [French]

By Ouka Ba

Les Croyances, bien qu'elles soient bannies par certaines religions, prodiguent parfois des conseils, duquent et sensibilisent. C'est du pire "bidaya" diront certains "int gristes", mais il faut tout de m me conna tre. Loin d' tre superstitieux, j'ai rassembl quelques t moignages pour tenter d'immortaliser les traditions orales que feu Amadou Hamp t BA (Paix son me ) avait tant soutenues. La parole s'envole, mais l' criture demeure, dit-on. On vous dira toujours que telle chose est mauvaise, qu'elle porte malheur, mais personne ne vous dira le pourquoi. Ici l'auteur a voulu lever l' quivoque, mettre nu ce qu'on a consid r jusque-l dans notre soci t comme interdit, tabou.

Beliefs, although banned by some religions, sometimes provide advice, educate, and raise awareness. It's the worst kind of "bidaya," some "fundamentalists" will say, but it's still worth knowing. Far from being superstitious, I've gathered a few testimonies in an attempt to immortalize the oral traditions that the late Amadou Hamp t BA (Peace be upon him ) so strongly supported. "Speech flies away, but writing remains," they say. You'll always be told that something is bad, that it brings bad luck, but no one will tell you why. Here, the author wanted to clear up the confusion, to lay bare what has been considered forbidden and taboo in our society until now.
