The tragic road accident that occurred on the night of January 7 and 8, 2023, in the Kaffrine Region, about 250 kilometres southeast of Dakar has continued to send  shockwaves throughout Senegal and beyond. The unfortunate accident, which resulted in the loss of 39 lives with 85 injuries, is without doubt, the most violent shock ever recorded in Senegal. 

TrustAfrica joins well-meaning people all over the world to offer sincere condolences to President Macky Sall of Senegal , the Senegalese people, the families of the deceased as well as other people who were affected by the unfortunate incident. 

As partners in the progress and development of the Senegalese nation, we are deeply saddened by the tragic occurrence. While commending the government of Senegal for declaring a three-day period of national mourning as part of efforts to assuage the pain and grief that has befallen the country, we in TrustAfrica are fervent in our prayers that the souls of the victims of this tragic occurrence will find eternal rest with the creator and Lord of the Universe.
