Africa Top Success Ils font l'Afrique
The Police Inspector, Malika, in the Burkinabe television series « Super Flics« , Maïmouna N’Diaye was crowned best actress at Fespaco 2015.
Last Saturday in Ouagadougou, the main actress of the movie « L’œil du cyclone » (The eye of the cyclone) dedicated her prize to all women worldwide within the framework of the International Women’s Day, commemorated on Sunday, 8th March.
« It is a great recognition for me and my work and I dedicate this trophy to all women, all female comedians at the eve of 8th March« , declared the Senegalese comedian.
In the movie, the Senegalese actress played the role of strong minded lawyer in a delicate justice case. She succeeded in shading light on a child soldier and diamond traffic case in which her father was involved.
We should note that « L’œil du cyclone » was crowned Bronze standard of the official prizes and the ECOWAS integration prize and the Oumarou Ganda prize.
