BY PA NDERRY M'BAI President Yahya Jammeh's Ramadan transport good will gesture extended to the Senegalese Community has be been rejected by Senegalese transport unionists, who vowed not to travel via Banjul again amidst border crisis between the neighbouring countries, The ALLGAMBIAN online Newspaper gathered on Wednesday. A leading independent radio station in Dakar called RFM monitored Wednesday reported that transport unionists in Dakar and Casamance both rejected the ferry tariffs recently reduced by The Gambian authorities. The RFM reporter in Casamance Abdoulie Sambou reported that transport unionists in southern province of Senegal described the ferry tariffs reduction as unacceptable. A spokesman of the transport union says The Gambian Ramadan transport good will gesture was nothing but a joke, as the Gambian authorities were yet to meet their demands. Consequently, the spokesman says they will go ahead with their border transport boycott no matter what tariff reductions Banjul offered to them. Meanwhile, in Dakar today transport unionists also rejected the GPA tariffs reduction. They told RFM radio, which is owned by Senegalese "ndaga star" Yussu Ndour that nothing will make them to accept the Gambian offer. The spokesman added that even though if Banjul should offer them free ferry passage, they will not accept it. "We are okay with their offer. We just don't want to travel via Banjul again. From now on, we will ask our colleagues to travel via tamba and not Banjul."said the Dakar transport unionist spokesman. The Spokesman who appeared uncompromising urged the Wade administration to construct good roads for them in Tambakunda and Casamance. "We are done with Banjul. There is nothing that can change our position on this state of affairs."said the spokesman. Dakar rejection to Gambia's so called transport good will gesture followed months of border impasse between the two neighbouring countries. Nigerian President Obsanjo this week decided to mediate in Gambia/Senegal border impasse. While the outcome of the Lagos meeting is yet to be declared, in what could be described as a major set back in the peace negotiations had emerged. Observers say parties involved in the dispute are likely to go back to the drawing board, in view of today's declaration made by Senegalese transport unionists. The Gambia, a former British colony is said to have suffered a great economic loss as a result of the border impasse. Hundreds of vehicles stranded along the Gambia/Senegalese border during the hills of the border dispute. It also paralysed economic activities of both countries. いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい
