Senegal’s latest peace agreement with the MFDC, signed in Guinea-Bissau by Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, has sparked varied reactions.
The deal, aimed at ending the decades-long Casamance conflict, is being welcomed by civil society actors as a step toward lasting peace. However, some remain cautious, citing previous failed attempts at reconciliation.
Casamance has been the center of a 40-year separatist rebellion, and while this agreement signals progress, its success will depend on sustained political will and effective implementation.
