Bro Joe,
I understand your take on Wade. Like you, I believe that the composition of the Cassamance rebels is not only Jolas, but other tribes alike in the sub region. It happens that I visited Ziguinchorr last year. I was informed that the situation was getting normal, especially with the security checkpoints enroute the region.
On a more serious note, you would have to excuse my ignorance, especially regards to Wade. I would like to know what his own contribution is towards the sub region’s conflict. For one, from your post, I understand that Wada is guilty by association to Jammeh.
On Jammeh's part, confessions from soldiers on Radio Freedom confirmed his active participation in the sub region’s conflict, namely Guinea and Cassamance with regards to hypocrisy, trade in arms and cocaine, while masquerading himself as a panafricanist in the front view.
One can only hail the recent developments exposing Jammeh’s hidden agenda of continuing to destabilize the region. You are right that Sintet is close to the border, but a conflict doesn’t leave any person safe. I can only pray, like the Ollofs would say, “kuppu sih kawi borom saitani-yee.”
Yero.

Laye, Sah Tomaa Neh Mor Yaya Mbokalange. This is what he gets. Wade is on record to call Yaya a great adherent of democracy and rule of law. Democracy is at works and now he is feeling what Gambians have been feeling with this criminal.Joe

It looks like the Senegalese Army launched an offensive on the MFDC to prove a point - they have new weapons provided by Kanilai - and who knows what their next move would be?

Senegal rebels armed with new weapons
2010-12-28 21:27 Dakar - Separatist rebels in Senegal's Casamance region have acquired new weaponry, including rocket launchers and mortars, a military source said on Tuesday after an attack in which seven soldiers were killed.
"It is certain that they (rebels) have new equipment which they did not before, such as rocket launchers, mortars and machine guns," a Senegalese military official told AFP.
"These are weapons that are generally held by traditional armies," the source added, without specifying the source of such equipment.
Local newspaper Le Quotidien ran a headline on Tuesday saying: "Guerrilla's firepower worrying army chief."
"The weaponry used by the rebels in Casamance has raised questions within the military hierarchy. It has been discovered that the guerrillas are using heavy artillery and are shelling in the same way as the army," the newspaper said.
A cache of Iranian arms recently discovered in Nigeria on their way to Gambia, raised fears in Senegal that they were destined for fighters from the the MFDC (Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance).
The shipment triggered diplomatic tensions between Tehran, Dakar and Banjul and Senegal withdrew its ambassador from Tehran after concerns "these weapons could end up in Senegal, in the hands of fighters who do not want peace".
The Senegalese army said on Tuesday it was carrying out search operations in the Casamance a day after losing seven soldiers during a battle with presumed seperatist rebels.
Sporadic outbreaks of violence persist in Casamance despite a peace accord signed in 2004.
Security forces fear the MFDC is preparing to step up its operations in the coming days as it marks the anniversary of the outbreak of the rebellion in December 1982.
A rich agricultural region with lush forests and white stretches of beach, development has been stunted in the Casamance area - a strip of land cut off from the rest of Senegal by Gambia.
