NEWS JAMMEH TO ATTEND BORDER PEACE TALKS IN DAKAR THURSDAY BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 16, 2005 Sources reaching The ALLGAMBIAN online Newspaper, have unveiled border peace talks negotiations between Gambian President Yahya Jammeh and his counterpart President Abdoulie Wade to be held in the Senegalese Capital Dakar on Thursday. Our sources hinted that the said meeting is supposed to be spear headed by Nigerian President Obasanjo, is geared towards finding a lasting solution to the month long border impasse, which nearly crippled the economy of The Gambia, which relied mainly on tax to meet its financial obligations. Neighbouring countries, such as Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry and Mali are also affected by the border impasse, as commercial vehicles filled with merchandise are currently stranded in The Gambia. Sources also hinted that the recent Lagos peace talks for The Gambia/Senegal border to be reopened never materialised, as the said meeting reached at a dead lock. Parties to the meeting could not reach to a common understanding to doze the mounting border crisis, said our sources. Consequently continued our sources, President Obasanjo decided to invite both parties to the Senegalese Capital Dakar this coming Thursday to brain storm on the said topical issue, which is threatening business activities in the Sub-Region.
