Incendie de la décharge de Keur Massamba Guèye, Thiès

Toxic fumes, high health risks, and widespread panic characterize the unhealthy atmosphere in Keur Massamba Guèye. This neighborhood in the municipality of Thiès-Ouest, located along the toll highway, was shaken by a violent fire that broke out at the local landfill on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, around 1 p.m.

This situation, deemed extremely serious and catastrophic, exposes local residents to immediate danger. The complainants, plunged into utter dismay, are outraged by the thick smoke that continues to spread relentlessly. They assert that despite their repeated alerts to the relevant authorities, including Sonaged, the Thiès-Ville town hall, and the Keur Moussa sub-prefecture, no intervention from the fire brigade had been observed several hours after the start of the blaze.

Residents of the area say they are now left to fend for themselves in the face of this environmental and security threat. They are launching yet another urgent appeal for immediate emergency services and effective mobilization of local authorities. Seeking national solidarity, they reiterate that their protection is a right and that the current inaction is endangering many lives. The people of Keur Massamba Guèye, exasperated by this recurring situation, are now insisting that "enough is enough."

Cette décharge devait être rayée de la carte depuis longtemps, Pitié pour les riverains. Mr Le Maire faites quelques, la Santé des thiessois vaut mieux que que certaines politiques politiciennes. Venez en aides Keur Massamba
