In 2011, the press reported that “the demobilisation, disarmament and reinsertion of some 2,000 fightersÉ has never been carried out”.2 Around the same time, President Wade asked the government to design a national program for the social reintegration of former MFDC fighters.3

Reintegration – 2006

In a news interview in October 2006, Koussaynobo Alphonse Diedhiou, coordinator of the National Agency for the Reconstruction of Casamance (ANRAC), said that “It is very difficult to realise a programme of demobilisation, disarmament and reintegration of the rebels, for example, without a peace process in place. There has not been a meeting between the MFDC and the government since 2004” (United Nations, 2006).5
