Drame de Lompoul : 39 morts et un autre gros problème
The death toll from the Lompoul shipwreck has risen to 39. Four more bodies were recovered on Monday in Saré Dao, reports L'Observateur. According to the same source, beyond the heavy human toll, the tragedy also highlights another problem: the lack of body preservation facilities in the Louga region. In the pages of the newspaper published by Groupe Futurs Médias, Governor Ndèye Nguénar Mbodi warns of overcrowded morgues and the difficulties in preserving bodies in dignified conditions.
"There are currently bodies in an advanced state of decomposition," she said. Of the 39 victims, 23 bodies have been identified and returned to their families. The remaining remains have been taken to the morgues in Kébémer and at the Louga hospital.

This situation led to a difficult decision. Four bodies recovered on Monday, in a very advanced state of decomposition, were buried in Saré Dao. The fire chief, Amadou Fall, told L'Obs that their condition no longer allowed them to be released to their families.

Niom pendant ce temps ils sont vivants et toi tu es parti à l'au delà.
on n'est pas sorti de l'auberge...
Au sud du Sahara, nos Présidents(Macky,Wade), Marêchaux(Mobotu),et autres Empereurs(Bokassa)font exactement l'inverse. Ils arrivent pauvres au pouvoir, souvent par la force, s'en mettent plein les poches ainsi que leurs parents et amis; et s'en vont tranquillement les mains dans les poches en sifflotant.
Tant que cette situation qui dure depuis des décennies ne nous indignera pas, on aura les dirigeants qu'on mérite.
