SENEGAL / GAMBIA / GUINEA-BISSAU: MILITARY OFFENSIVE UNLIKELY TO DRAW CASAMANCE CONFLICT TO A CLOSE

   Fri, 19 March 2021

Over one month after launching a major offensive against separatist rebels in the southern Casamance region, the Senegalese military has announced that it is in the final phases of operations. However, indications have since emerged that the insurgents intend to continue their armed resistance. The ongoing political crisis in Dakar may also exacerbate regional tensions and aggravate secessionist sentiment.
