Lat Dior

Lat Dior Ngoné Latyr Diop , wire of Sakhéwère Sokhna Mbaye and Linguére Ngoné Latyr Fall, was Damel (king) Royaume of Cayor, in current the Senegal.

Opposed to the annexation of Cayor, it inflicted heavy losses with the colonizer, in particular in Pathé Badiane in 1864 and Ngol Ngol in 1865. It met on October 26th, 1886 the troops of Faidherbe to the Dekheulé well, where it carried out a last combat without hope. From where this sentence of Faidherbe: " These, they are killed one does not dishonor them pas." It is aujourdhui the currency of the army sénégalaise: One kills to us, one does not dishonor us.
