RAKE IN OPERATION Casamance 40 military Gambian fall near Kanilai 


In total, 19 soldiers have been killed since the outbreak of hostilities on December 27 last, between the national army and the rebel Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance (MFDC). Never in the history of armed conflict, the losses have been recurrent in the ranks of the great silent. 

Which, incidentally, finished to irritate a lot of retired senior officers, who could not accept, given the professionalism of our Jambar, as many casualties in so little time. The rebels who have rearmed with the help of the Islamic Republic of Iran, through the Gambia, have a sophisticated arsenal. Thus, modern anti-tank equipment, such as B10, have been recovered from armed gangs believed to belong to the MFDC. 

  

 This discovery precipitated the severance of diplomatic relations between Senegal and Iran. During their search operation in the area near Sindian Kanilai, the birthplace of President Yaya Jammeh, the army killed more than forty (40) Gambian military. From reliable sources, "this information has been handled with tact and kept secret by the highest authorities. 

This severe response and noticed the great silent, is made possible by ground troops, backed by helicopters (Mi 17) of the Air Force who, our source continues, "have caused great losses in the camp of the rebel fighters. " With the purchase of long-range guns, the Senegalese army has to go through, to avenge its components fell in battle and in turn, eradicate the rebels out of the southern region. 

The Iranian weapons that have passed through the Gambia, before landing in the hands of irredentist movement, not to mention the death of Gambian soldiers during the combing operation, they do not constitute additional reasons for the breakdown in relations diplomatic ties between the two countries? One thing yet remains certain: the number of frequent losses suffered by the Senegalese army has finished creating unrest among the troops and senior officers. Meanwhile, the state decided to suspend the search operation for reasons not yet understood. This leaves some senior officers believe that puzzled that "the State is using the stick and carrot to try to solve the Casamance problem." 




There is no god but Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (SAW) is His messenger. Fear and Worship only Allah alone!

I cannot confirm nor deny the report. It says both governments are keeping it hush hush. Apparently, during a border sweep by Senegal's army assisted by helicopters, 40 Gambian soldiers were killed around Kanilai. I suppose they were mistaken for MFDC rebel soldiers because they had Iranian arms and kept going back and forth across the border. At least that is what the recon that was conducted several days prior indicated.

That would be ironic wouldn't it Kukeh???

Haruna. The rest is Wade's problem. I don't have time for it.

Au total, 19 soldats ont été tués depuis la résurgence des hostilités le 27 décembre dernier, entre l’armée nationale et les rebelles du Mouvement des forces démocratiques de Casamance (MFDC). Jamais dans l’histoire du conflit armé, les pertes n’ont été aussi récurrentes, dans les rangs de la grande muette. 
Ce qui, d’ailleurs, a  fini  d’irriter beaucoup d’officiers supérieurs en retraite, qui ne pouvaient pas accepter, vu le  professionnalisme de nos Jambars, autant de pertes en vies humaines en si peu de temps. Les rebelles qui se sont réarmés avec l’aide de la république Islamique d’Iran, via la Gambie, possèdent un arsenal sophistiqué. C’est ainsi que des équipements modernes antichars, tels des B10 ont été récupérés sur des bandes armées supposées appartenir au Mfdc.
 
 Cette découverte a précipité la rupture des relations diplomatiques entre le Sénégal et l’Iran.  Durant leur opération de ratissage, dans la zone de Sindian prés de Kanilaï, le village natal du président Yaya Jammeh, l’armée a tué plus de quarante (40) militaires gambiens. De sources dignes de foi, «cette information a été gérée avec tact et tenue secrète, par les plus hautes autorités du pays. 
Cette riposte sévère et remarquée, de la grande muette, est rendue possible grâce à des troupes au sol, appuyées par des hélicoptères (Mi 17) de l’armée de l’air qui, poursuivent nos sources, «ont occasionné beaucoup de pertes dans le camp des combattants du mouvement rebelle». Avec l’achat de canons de longue portée, l’armée sénégalaise compte aller jusqu’au bout, afin de venger ses éléments tombés au  champ d’honneur et, par ricochet, bouter la rébellion hors de la région Sud. 
Les armes iraniennes qui ont transité par la Gambie, avant d’atterrir entre les mains du mouvement irrédentiste, sans compter la mort de soldats gambiens, lors de l’opération de ratissage, ne constituent-ils pas des motifs supplémentaires pour la rupture des relations diplomatiques entre les deux pays ? Une chose pour le moment reste sûre : le nombre fréquent de pertes subies, par l’armée sénégalaise, a fini de créer un malaise au sein des troupes et des officiers supérieurs. En attendant, l’Etat a décidé de suspendre l’opération de ratissage pour des raisons non encore élucidées. Ce qui laisse certains officiers supérieurs perplexes qui croient que « l’Etat se sert du bâton et de la carotte, pour tenter de résoudre le problème casamançais».
