This year's François Sergy Prize goes to Abdoulaye Cissé, radio director in Timbuktu.
"I dedicate this award to all those who lost their lives because of their faith!" Abdoulaye Cissé is the director of Radio Tahanint in Timbuktu, Mali. A pastor and businessman at heart, he received the François Sergy Award on Friday, November 26, in Lomé, Togo, during the closing ceremony of the fourth training week for Christian media professionals in French-speaking Africa. Deeply moved, the 55-year-old man, dressed in a traditional yellow boubou, added that he was also dedicating this award to his mentor, Abdoulaye Sangho, Trans World Radio's international director for West and Central Africa, one of the main speakers at Lomé 4, who was present that day.
