The village of Dar Salam, in the commune of Niassya, which still bears the scars of the Casamance conflict, is still waiting for the decontamination of its lands to welcome its natives, who have begun to return to their homes after long years of exile.

Here, the needs for the locality's economic development are numerous, according to Niassya Mayor Justine Manga, speaking to the Head of State. "The major problem in these areas is the resumption of humanitarian demining operations to allow people to return to their villages, and the State's contribution to enable financial partners to begin relocation activities. Economic recovery and opening up access to isolated areas will allow people to settle," stated Justine Manga.

She welcomed the presence of the President of the Republic, who had chosen to represent her country, Dar Salam. The mayor took the opportunity to request affirmative action for the Nyassia district.

"We ask you again and again to take a look at this district, at this municipality which has been cursed for years. We are facing a problem of isolation. Certainly, the RN5, which goes from Ziguinchor to Cap Skirring, is there, but it only touches a small part of the municipality of Niassya," pleaded the mayor.

For Justine Manga, "we would like the opening up of certain main routes which concern the Bayotte loop, which is in the heart of the commune, the Alankaguit track, an arboricultural area where great potential exists, and the Brin - Bandiale track, which is in the heart of the commune of Enampore and other secondary tracks which will allow the populations to regain their quality of life and develop income-generating activities".
