Thiès : Des habitants s’opposent au déguerpissement de Cadior Glace
The dispute between the Thiès city hall and the Cadior Glace restaurant and ice cream parlor continues to spark heated controversy in the railway capital. On Tuesday, March 3, Mayor Babacar Diop sent a letter to Cadior Glace owner Serigne Abdoulaye Mbow, ordering him to vacate the land on the Thiès promenade within eight days. This demand has provoked a wave of reactions in the city.
On Thursday, March 5th, the Thiès Restaurant Owners Association, residents of the Lamy neighborhood, employees of Cadior Glace, and several supporters held a press conference to denounce the mayor's decision. The speakers expressed their disagreement with the plan to evict the restaurant and ice cream parlor.
According to them, Cadior Glace has no connection whatsoever with the organization of activities related to the April 4th celebrations. They also point out that the company was founded by a young man from Thiès and that it provides jobs for several young people in the city.
Supporters of the establishment also point out that its owner, Serigne Abdoulaye Mbow, regularly carries out social actions in favor of the residents, particularly in the Lamy district.
Furthermore, they believe the mayor should focus on other priorities for the city. "Many urgent matters are waiting to be addressed," they stated, reminding everyone that the mayor was elected by the people of Thiès and, in their view, must take into account the wishes of his fellow citizens.
The protesters also mentioned previous eviction operations carried out in the city, notably at Mickey Land and the Kawsara restaurant. In their view, the decision targeting Cadior Glace is part of a series of measures targeting restaurants in Thiès since Babacar Diop took office as mayor.
