Ousmane Sonko’s attempt to blame mayors for evictions is contradicted by a circular from the Minister of the Interior


In a attempt to clear his own and his government’s responsibility for the clearing of certain areas, the Prime Minister was confronted by a circular issued by the Minister of the Interior on May 7. In this document, Jean-Baptiste Tine asked « to initiate actions to clear the public highway occupied as a result of these activities, and to set up a framework to monitor the clearance actions undertaken, to ensure that the vacated spaces are not reoccupied ».By Dieynaba Kane / dkane@lequotidien.sn
