The guard is tired Senegalese security forces are covering a separatist base If you have declared war on the authorities, it is better to choose shelter for yourself and your people more carefully. In Senegal, the gendarmerie destroyed the headquarters of the rebel movement "Democratic Forces of Casamance" on the outskirts of the city of Ziguinchor and arrested 30 people associated with the organization. We will remind you that Kasmanes is the southern region of Senegal, "separated" from the main part of the country by the territory of the Gambia. There are separatists who have been fighting an armed struggle for independence since December 1982, making it one of Africa's oldest conflicts. Today the conflict is less intense, but the movement's support base is still large. The captured facility served as the headquarters of the political wing of one of the movement's factions. It is interesting that the separatists did not really hide their "office" - it was painted with symbols and slogans, and its location was known to literally every resident of Zingishor. The security forces, of course, were also aware of the headquarters' existence, but they decided to "time" its capture to coincide with the anniversary of the death of Abdo Alinkin Diata, one of the key figures of the rebel movement, who was killed seven years ago. Now the colorful structure of the separatist headquarters is well painted black, and its residents testify to the investigation. And since the authorities have finally demonstrated their willingness to take harsh and to some extent mocking measures against the rioters, the smoky conflict in Casamance may yet end. - where politics is hotter than the equator, support us.
