Kaolack : Inondations à Thioffack Bambara – Le cri des oubliés interpelle les autorités

The people of Thioffack, a neighborhood in the commune of Kaolack, decided to make their voices heard. They organized a march wearing red armbands to demand the construction of water drainage channels. These people find themselves cut off from the rest of the commune, forced to cross in precarious conditions.

"More than ten years ago, the water stopped where we are, but now it has spread. No alley and no house is safe from these floods. This is an opportunity for us to appeal to the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, and to the Minister of Sanitation, Cheikh Tidiane Dièye, to tell them that the 2024 rainy season, as he said, was that of the old regime. And we accept it. But Mr. Minister, Cheikh Tidiane Dièye, the 2025 rainy season is yours," explained Cheikh Ba, spokesperson for the people of Thioffack.

    En plus de l'assainissement des villes, vivement la publication officielle des zones non ædificandi afin que les populations arrêtent de construire là où il ne faut pas. Si cela n'est pas fait, on va continuer de s'étonner des inondations qui vont augmenter dans les années à venir, surtout avec les changements climatiques...
