Thionck-Essyl is deserved: if it takes 5 hours of plane to comfortably rejoin Dakar from Paris, it is necessary nearly 2 a.m. to simply achieve the 35 km of track which separate Thionck-Essyl de Bignona, the locality nearest. The 450 km which separate Dakar de Thionck-Essyl require 12 noon of 8 p.m. according to waiting of the vat of Farafemmi in Gambia, waitings sometimes interminable. An air link exists between Dakar and Ziguinchor, too expensive for the autochtones; motorized dugouts also ensure of the connections between Ziguinchor and Thionck-Essyl.
