Propreté du littoral : Le plaidoyer de Modou Lô et Go Faye face au péril plastique à l'Unité 15
Armed with gloves, bags, and cleaning equipment, residents mobilized in large numbers at the Unité 15 beach in the Parcelles Assainies district for a massive cleanup operation. For this second edition of "Setal Sunu Tefes" (Clean Our Beaches), the project's initiator, Pape Kory Faye, known as Go Faye, president of the "RÉ'ACTION" movement, wanted to place environmental protection at the heart of community engagement. The main objective is to combat the proliferation of plastics and solid waste that degrade the coastline, while also raising awareness among the population about preserving public spaces. "It's a day of community service," he explained, adding that this initiative, launched a year and a half ago, brings together all segments of the local community—political parties, associations, and wrestling clubs—without distinction.
On the ground, the situation remains worrying due to the heavy accumulation of garbage, which poses a health and environmental hazard to residents. After a first edition that resulted in the removal of 8 tons of waste, the organizers aim to exceed that volume this time. To ensure the long-term impact, the initiative also includes continuing awareness campaigns and a weeding operation in the Yoff cemeteries.
As the patron of this year's event, wrestler Modou Lô praised this community-driven initiative on a beach he frequents daily for training. "It's a noble initiative. He's doing it for us," declared the champion, inviting the youth of Parcelles Assainies to actively participate. Emphasizing the importance of prevention, the wrestler reiterated a key principle: "Don't litter before you even think about cleaning up." To prevent illegal dumping, he announced the upcoming installation of plastic bins on the site, thanks to the support of partners. Through "Setal Sunu Tefes," the organizers aim to firmly establish a genuine eco-responsible culture within Parcelles Assainies.
