“Diary is alive, she is fine.
We must leave her alone, stop talking about her.
Above all, you have to give her the time to make her choices and to come back if she wants to.
One thing is certain, it will be explained one day or another, tomorrow, in a month or in a year ”.
In a few words confided this Tuesday to Parisien-Today in France, one of the people closest to Diary Sow dispels, at least in part and on condition of anonymity, a mystery that has persisted since January 4, the day of the disappearance in Paris of the student from Lycée Louis-le-Grand.
According to this intimate, the disappearance project would have been conceived at least a few days or even a few weeks in advance.
"Perhaps it goes back to much further ...", we are whispered.
The academic pressure that reigns in the second year of preparatory class for engineering schools would be unrelated.
As for the hypothesis of a passionate escapade, considered in this type of disappearance, it does not seem to have more consistency.
By leaving his student residence on Boulevard du Port-Royal (Paris 13th arrondissement) overnight, Diary Sow, a 20-year-old Senegalese woman, only wanted to take her life back in hand and move away from the red carpet that seemed to be emerging under her feet. in a gesture where the romantic dimension cannot be excluded.
A link with the sudden death of his father?
Labeled "best student of Senegal" in 2018 and 2019 at the end of the general competition and rewarded by the President of the Republic Macky Sall in person, he was promised a fate all traced of high-level scientist called to endorse, sooner or later , responsibilities in his country of origin.
"No thank you or when I have decided", seems to answer Diary Sow with monstrous nerve.
Impossible, still according to one of the members of his inner circle, not to also link his radical desire for disappearance with the sudden death of his father last April.
Pastry chef in the village of Malicounda a hundred kilometers south of Dakar, he was “his confidant”, “his accomplice”, “his best friend”.
But the essential is perhaps written in black and white in his first novel entitled "Under the face of an angel" and published in 2019 in Senegal.
It is in any case in this direction that invites us to look at the intimate of Diary Sow.
Its main character, Allyn, a sublime young woman with a thwarted destiny, disappears twice over the 317 pages of the work.
She makes him say this.
“I want to trample on all prohibitions, think outside the box, refuse all these agreed rules so that nothing ever changes.
I want to live without any constraints.
After having known only the regrettable side of life, the time has come for me to cum.
My turn.
Whatever sacrifices this implies.
"A few lines later, an existential doubt springs up:" What good is a life without follies if a gust of wind can upset everything?
"
But where is she today?
In this "madness", Diary Sow would apparently not have embarked anyone.
According to our information, she left Paris alone after getting rid of her phone.
Having become difficult to trace, she then gave a sign of life to one of her contacts, just enough to spread reassuring news to a very small circle of people.

But where is she today?
In France, Belgium or another country in the Schengen area?
That, no one knows, neither his intimate friends, nor the investigators of the judicial police who have been trying to trace him since January 7, the day of the opening of an investigation for worrying disappearance.
“We just know that she seems alive and not under control, exposes a police source.
But we will only have confirmation when we have seen or spoken directly ”.
