UTG historian denounce demolition of historical heritage near Timbuktu



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.
