Economy of Ziguinchor

JuteVilla
Ziguinchor remains economically dependent on its role as a cargo port, transport hub and ferry terminal. The "Nationale 4" highway crosses the Casamance River just east of the city, linking the region with Bignona about 25 km to the north, and (via The Gambia), the rest of Senegal.

The MV Joola, which sank in 2002, was sailing from Ziguinchor to Dakar. Its sinking, replaced only in 2005, cut off the major major link between Casamance and the rest of the country. The new ferry, which began regular runs in 2007, is named for local anti-colonial martyr Aline Sitoe Diatta, promises a boost to the local economy
