The Deputy Prefect of Vélingara, in the region of Kolda (south), has issued a decree, dated 16 September, prohibiting the departure of the Kankourang from the entire departmental territory. In the decision, Ndeye Sall refers to the risk of “trouble to public order” as a motive and warns that “any violation exposes the offenders to the sanctions provided for by the laws and regulations”. This measure intervened a week after the death by blankets of a young man during the exit of the Kankourang in the commune of Vélingara. Le présumé meurtrier, who had taken the flight, was finally interpellé in Gambia.
