 "The removal of the 12 miners is a terrifying weapon to tear, forceps, concessions to the Senegalese government"
Political analyst Babacar Justin Ndiaye analysis in this interview the removal of the 12 miners in the South African society in Casamance in a context marked by calls for peace from the bush and hopes the new regime to find a definitive solution to the crisis Casamance.

What comment do you do with the kidnapping of 12 deminers a South African company in Casamance, claimed by the MFDC guerrillas through a statement published on their sites in Europe?

We face a need for additional information to properly dissipate the shadows. I know that deminers removed Kaylou Nyassia in the area are related to the South African company Mechem Demining. Are they military? Difficult to be precise about their status, even if demining operations are unique to the military genius. He adds that, for historical reasons well known, South Africa is full of varied military capabilities, ranging from the regular army of mercenaries to private firms. Hence the confusion quickly established between the active military and former military, they are available on the international market of security expertise. Remember that in Sierra Leone, the government had hired the services of South African society "Executive Outcomes" to halt military successes RUF guerrillas fire Fode Sonko. So it is not easy to find a range of light between the government's silence on the one hand, and information packed with detail and illustrated with pictures of South African troops that can be read on sites information MFDC-Europe on the other. Including the site installed in Germany. However, it is clear that the captured or taken hostage deminers, operated on behalf of the National Commission of Shares Anti-Mines of Senegal (CNAMS) which is connected to a foreign affairs on the National Defence organization. But scalded cat fears cold water, ie MFDC fighters remember a regiment of the Royal Armed Forces of Morocco (FAR) composed of miners and combat units Protection Forces in Casamance had stayed between 2006 and 2010 . Moreover, the MFDC had warned two months ago, the CNAMS organizations, Geneva Call and APRAN in clear terms: "The mine is within the framework of the peace negotiations, with a red zone beyond Attika which no longer guarantees the safety of miners. "Is this removal involves the dynamics of ongoing peace since the arrival of Macky Sall to power?Do not abuse the words! I do not see any momentum for peace. Rather I see strenuous efforts for peace. Briefly, there are two teams that are making all-out contacts in Rome, Paris, Sao Domingo and of course in The Gambia, or Gambia border. These teams Robert Sagna and Admiral Farba Sarr who work more concurrently and jointly, by the way. And sometimes to the confines of the competition. Groups are full of men and women value. All mediators are supported by Cardinal Theodore Adrien Sarr. In the team of Admiral, former diplomats on lists; including last ambassador of Senegal to Madagascar, Caesar Coly, a native of the village of Soutou. But the process is difficult since contact with the bush is easier to advocate than succeed. Sometimes it begs the help of Father Edmond Diocese of Ziguinchor to get an interview with Caesar Atoute Badiatte. And indeed, the removal of the 12 miners is a terrifying weapon to tear, forceps, concessions to the Senegalese government.So the televised appeal Ousmane Niantan is not payable in the dynamics of peace?No! Niantan blown facto and sentenced to death in absentia for desertion or collusion with the enemy. He must know the habits of those who are relentless MFDC any guerrillas. Remember that it is Wade who was sent to Spain to treat his sore kidneys. And when I speak, it is installed by the state in a city center in the country that I will not name. In short, it is watched by Leopold Sagna syndrome, the former Chief of Staff Assistant MFDC has been conveyed by the Fokker army into the office of President Abdou Diouf. Upon returning to scrub Leopold Sagna was executed for treason.Is there any hope that the new regime succeed where governments have failed Diouf and Wade?Yes, yes! Hope is allowed. Green forest, it will lead sooner or later on the green carpet. But conflicts do not care about time. Especially the challenges of today are not those of today. The MFDC poses Macky Sall, original equations. Hold! It has obtained the release of military prisoners with good will - not without calculations - President Yaya Jammeh. A tough but cushioned by the fact that a State has treated or made concessions to another coup. By cons, if in the case of miners, the government made concessions pushed to an armed insurrection, the consequences can be disastrous sustainably.What do you think calls for peace launched by some officials of the bush?Each issue calls for peace, while others take hostages. Go and figure! I see a planned by the enemies of peace confusion. In any case, the capture of hostages shows that President Macky Sall must track ill-gotten gains that radical rebel as well.
