Pas d'alternance en Casamance?: Le nouveau pouvoir sénégalais face à la revendication séparatiste casamançaise

In: La politique africaine, Heft 91, S. 101-119

Abstract

The hopes born of the Senegalese elections of March 2000 did not quell the conflict in Casamance. Taking advantage of the favorable regional and international contexts, and the undermining tactics of the outgoing regime, president Wade upset the fragile status quo that reigned in Casamance. After a time of uncertainty, he has gained the advantage. However, the military solution is still impossible; negotiations are marred by the weaknesses of the separatist movement, which also encourages the criminalization of combatants. (Polit afr/DÜI)
