Mr. Ensa Touray, a history lecturer at the
University of The Gambia is of the view that “knowledge” in all areas of human
interest has been embedded in Timbuktu, a place he regarded as a “centre for
intellectuals” across the horn of Africa.
Mr. Touray, who was speaking at a press conference
organised by the History Club of the University of The Gambia (UTG) at the
Brikama campus, denounced the on-going turmoil that led to the destruction of
several valuable shrines and historical heritages in and near Timbuktu, an ancient
town in Mali.
