Who Is Achouackh Abakar Souleymane? Everything To Know About The Actress
Achouackh Abakar Souleymane is a Chadian actress best known for her role as “Amina” in the 2021 film Lingui, directed by Mahamat-Saleh Haroun.
Mahamat-Saleh Haroun grew up surrounded by women, and it instilled in him a respect for women. However, it was only last year, in 2021, when he neared his 60s, he directed his first film with female leads.
Lingui, the Sacred Bonds tells the story of Amina, a single mother who is horrified to discover her 15-year-old daughter is pregnant and wants an abortion. Amina adamantly refuses at first as it is illegal in Chad. Moreover, they are Muslim, and the religion bans it.
However, as the film progresses, she changes her mind and starts to question, “How do I get the abortion done?” Lingui is a film about women’s resistance and an outspoken critique of Chad’s patriarchy.

Lingui: Achouackh Abakar Souleymane Wikipedia Details
Achouackh Abakar Souleymane is an actress who has worked on three projects so far.
Although she played in Grigris in 2013 and L’invité in 2000, Achouackh Abakar Souleymane became a topic of interest after bagging the lead role in Lingui.
Achouackh met director Haroun in 2013 while working as a costume assistant on his film Grigris. She was in the hospital the day he called her to meet for an audition for Lingui, having just given birth to her son by c-section.
However, she withheld this information from Haroun because she didn’t want him to know. She asked to meet him next week instead.
She began shooting the film when her son was three months old. She would take a break every hour to breastfeed her baby boy. At the beginning of her shoot, she had to put on makeup to give her dark circles.
However, after a few weeks, the makeup became unnecessary.
