| description | Happening paradoxically in a country considered as a model pupil of the West, the Casamance conflict is at this stage the conflict that has lasted longest on the African continent — a total of 20 years. It is a conflict of «low intensity» and of rather limited territorial extension, but which at the same time is highly complex: for one side, it is a liberation war, for the other, a civil war or even e mere operation meant to maintain public order — and all this against the background of social mobilisation where the main cleavages are marked by social identities, of rivalries between (neighbouring and other) states, and of a destabilisation of the whole sub-region. Today the people of the Casamance are tired of the conflict, but have by no means forgotten that «the Senegalese» have before «tired them badly». |
