Saraya: Plus de 30 concessions parties en fumée à Toubacouta, la case du chef de village calcinée
A fire of unusual intensity wreaked havoc this Thursday, April 9, 2026, in the village of Toubacouta, part of the Madina Baffé commune in the Saraya department. The blaze, which broke out around 10:00 AM, quickly spread, fueled by circumstances that are still unknown.
According to initial findings, nearly thirty houses were completely reduced to ashes. Among the homes affected was that of the village chief, a symbol of the scale of the disaster. The flames left behind only ruins and desolation, destroying food, clothing, and many other essential items for the daily lives of the villagers.
Despite the intensity of the fire, no lives were lost, a relief for the still-shocked residents. However, the material damage remains particularly severe, plunging several families into a precarious situation.
Faced with the emergency, the local population demonstrated remarkable mobilization. Armed with makeshift means, they managed to contain the flames, thus preventing an even more devastating spread to the entire village.
The cause of the fire is currently unknown. An investigation is expected to shed light on the origin of the blaze.
Meanwhile, the residents of Toubacouta are making an urgent appeal for solidarity. They are requesting support from the authorities, well-meaning individuals, and humanitarian organizations to help the affected families, who are now facing the urgent need to find new housing and meet their most basic needs.
