AN interesting news Malanding: The translated version. Quiet implicating for Wadde and Jammeh
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."
