    Tips

    January 4, 2018

    Oussouye is located about 40 km from the city of Ziguinchor, the largest city in the Ziguinchor region and located in the south of Senegal, in the so-called Casamance between the Casamance River in the north, the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the border with Guinea-Bissau in the south , Oussouye is, apart from the mangrove area in the east, surrounded on all sides by forest areas, which is joined in the south by the Basse-Casamance National Park. Every year in September, the king of Oussouye is paid homage to dance, song and wrestling. An audience with the king is not granted to anyone. The main tasks of the king are peace education and conflict management, since for the past 25 years smoldered in the former granary Senegal an armed conflict that has torn deep wounds in this part of the country and its population.
