According to an NGO report, as of March 2007 no attempt at reintegration had been made.¹

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).²

There was no mention of the reintegration program.

In his 2012 new year’s speech, Senegalese President Wade said he would facilitate the process of social reintegration of rebels after disarmament and demobilization.³ President Wade later also proposed what he termed a ‘DDP planÕ for the Casamance: disarmament, demining, projects.⁴

In 2011, the press reported that “the demobilisation, disarmament and reinsertion of some 2,000 fightersÉ has never been carried out”.⁵

In 2010, a Senegalese military official told media: “It is certain that they (rebels) have new equipment which they did not before, such as rocket launchers, mortars and machine guns”.⁶

There was no mention of the disarmament program.

In 2008, a spokesperson for the human rights group Raddho stated that there had been no disarmament in the Casamance.⁷
