Amadou Bruno M’baye was born in Senegal 63 years ago and died in Montreal on June 15.
He died alone, in deprivation, but his death cast a light that was both revealing and unexpected.
I’d known Amadou for three years. He lived near the mosque I attend. Every Friday I would pick him up in front of his house, and drive him home afterwards.
He had become weakened and diminished from diabetes. Walking was often a painful ordeal; he was tormented by the fear of losing his feet.
