Lead evaluation

This is a very concise and clear lead that tells us who Mboup is and why he is important. My only worry is that you mention he is a part of the Armed Forces of Senegal in the very first sentence, but there is no expansion on this later in the article. If it is an important part of who he is, it should be expanded later like when he joined.
