Déficit d'espaces funéraires : « Dakar n'a plus les réserves nécessaires pour accueillir ses morts »
Faced with the depletion of available land in the capital, the director of the Dakar Agglomeration Community (CADAK), Moussa Tine, invited the cities of Dakar, Pikine and Guédiawaye to pool their land reserves in order to create new cemeteries, reports the Senegalese Press Agency (APS).
Speaking this Saturday at the blessing ceremony for the construction site of the Saint John Paul II Catholic cemetery in Guédiawaye—a four-hectare site—Mr. Tine sounded the alarm about a situation that has become tense. " The management and expansion of burial spaces […] have become critical ," he warned, noting that " Dakar […] no longer has the necessary land reserves to accommodate its dead ."
According to the public official quoted by APS, the response to this urban challenge absolutely requires territorial synergy. " The solution to the space shortage [can stem from] strong inter-municipal cooperation between the cities of Dakar, Pikine, and Guédiawaye ," argued Mr. Tine, believing that pooling the remaining land constitutes " the only lever " for the municipalities.
In the presence of the mayor of Guédiawaye, Ahmed Aïdara, and the archbishop of Dakar, Monsignor André Guèye, the director of CADAK called on elected officials and urban planners to urgently " rethink " the development of the Dakar region through this inter-communal solidarity.
