Marsassoum is a small town and seat of the Marsassoum Arrondissement in the Ziguinchor Region of Senegal, roughly {{convert|33|km}} from Ziguinchor. It lies on the bank of the Soungrougrou River.[1] In 2002 it had a population of 6410 people.

History

During colonial times it was a centre of the slave trade. Children could be sold from 200 to 250 francs.[2] Today there are significant populations of Mandinka people living in the vicinity.[3]

On July 28, 2008, gendarmes opened fire on 10 demonstrators who had barricaded the roads in Marsassoum.[4]
