A provocitive question, who am I provoking,those who are fighting, those who have fled? all I want to know is who are the backers of these people,one thing is certain that the people involved in no way have the money to buy weapons,as far as I know there are no Diamonds or Gold in the area,so is independence the reason for the fighting.
toubab1020,
Your question about who supplies the rebels with guns is the problem.
I posted my opinion because there are people who acused Gambia as to for see them with arms. There are some even who say that they escape into the Gambia and a certail village when attacked.There was a case involving Guinea Bissau, but not Gambia. There is a a rumor among some Gambians that the rebels are Jola so the Gambian army is involved. Which is not a fact. Is there anybody on the forum who knows where the rebels get their fire arms? The question itself is provocative. As I have seen some of the postings about the Gambian army and President and the Cassamance rebels.
This is my reason. |

Alhassan,
I think I understand now, but, truth is truth. |
"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.

| ALHASSAN,Yes having read my reply,it does look strange,to try and explain is something that I cannot do ,it is well known that even the most learned of people are unable to come up with the same definition for truth,not a good answer I know, it reminds me of the question asked of a computer, "Why?" the computer became so confused it blew up! |

This is an important MILLION DALASI QUESTION and should be PROBED before it cost us de-stabilsation within the sub-region especially our neighbours. I tend to defer with Alasan that its Senegal's problem and does not concern us. When there has been crises in Sierra Leone, Liberia & Guinea Bissau, Gambia was politically & diplomatically (refugees etc) involved. We may be sitting on a timed-bomb and can trigger massive LOSSES of lives, properties & national assets on both sides (Sengal & Gambia). |

| toubabs question is legitimate in any case of proliferation. I think he didn't mean to accuse anyone personally. But if someone should feel adressed... |

Thanks for that, there was no intention of accusing anyone personally,but as we all know Africa has been a place where wars flourish and Gambia has been a peaceful corner of Africa,all that I have ever read about this problem has been that the people who live in Casamance felt that they were not part of Senegal but a seperate people I have never heard of any other reason for the conflict. |
