Diakhao, Historical commune in Fatick Department, Senegal
Diakhao extends across 11.71 square kilometers of land in the Fatick Region, maintaining a population density of 480 residents per square kilometer.
The commune served as the final capital of the Serer Kingdom of Sine until 1969, when the last king, Maad a Sinig Mahecor Joof, passed away.
The Kanger baobab stands as a ceremonial site where the kings of Sine performed traditional libation rituals throughout their reign periods.
The commune connects to major transportation hubs, with Banjul International Airport located 131 kilometers away and Leopold Sedar Senghor International Airport at 133 kilometers.
In 1867, Diakhao experienced complete destruction during an event known as the Surprise of Mbin o Ngor, leading to substantial tax reforms for reconstruction.
