mboubne

Mboubne is a town in the lower delta of the Senegal River 10 kilometers from the coastal city of Saint-Louis, Senegal, near the mouth of the Marigot de Djeuss, on the main highway to the Maka-Diama dam. It is the royal capital of the Kingdom of Biffeche, and it was called "Biffeche-Ville" during the period of the 1960s through the 1980s when it was inhabited by resettled members of the Srer ethnic group. The Srers moved away to the nearby town of Savoigne. Today, Mboubne consists of two parts: Al Madinatoul Islamiah Mboubne Peulh inhabited by Peulh people, and Mboubne Naar primarily inhabited by Moors. There is a Koranic school and general store at the former, and a royal residence at the latter. The chief economic activities are animal husbandry and gardening. Nearby agricultural fields suffer from yearly flooding and salinity. Mboubne-Peulh is governed by an appointed Chef de Village. On French and Dutch maps, the name of the town has been spelled variously, including "MBoulene" and "Emboulan."
