Mayor Mamadou Djitté launches land title regularization for 500 families
Headline and summary by local AI
Mayor Mamadou Djitté officially launched a land regularization process for 500 families living in the Route de Dakar 2 area of Thiès-Ouest, Senegal.
The initiative aims to provide residents with formal property titles and resolve decades of legal insecurity regarding land ownership. The mayor initiated this move following a four month suspension of real estate transactions and construction work in several sectors, including Route de Dakar 1 and the extension area.
This local pause allowed authorities to survey land disputes and reorganize land use while the national government began gradually lifting restrictions on land subdivisions in Dakar, Thiès, and Saint-Louis. The government maintains that the resumption of development only applies to owners with recognized titles that meet official standards. Authorities continue to monitor the region to prevent irregular occupations and speculative land practices.
The regularization project was announced during the Forums zonaux N2, which gathered residents from the Mbour 1, Mbour 2, and Sud Stade sectors.
