Cardinal meets MFDC
His stay has been short. But enough for the Cardinal Theodore Adrien Sarr meets the Casamance rebels. The head of the Catholic Church came quietly in Ziguinchor just asked an act of hope on the path to peace that is increasingly desired in Casamance.
it last, in the morning that Monsignor Theodore Adrien Sarr has set foot Ziguinchorois, out of sight prying. Taking advantage of this unexpected visit of a few hours in the southern capital, the head of the Catholic Church of Senegal has initiated important meetings which have a common denominator: pick up the thread of dialogue between the state and the movement of democratic forces Casamance (MFDC) for a return to peace. According to our sources, besides the regional chief executive, Archbishop Theodore Adrien Sarr met the Imam Ratib of Ziguinchor, Alioune Aïdara Sharif. But the hearing which has most captured the attention of opinion is that given by the head of the Catholic church to members of separatist movement in Casamance. Une délégation composée de responsables de l’aile politique, mais également de membres de l’aile militaire. Une rencontre au cours de laquelle il a été question de lever les contraintes et de renouer le fil du dialogue entre les protagonistes du conflit en Casamance, d’après une source bien informée.
Cette visite ‘surprise’ de Monseigneur Théodore Adrien Sarr intervient dans un contexte de regain de violence avec des affrontements meurtriers qui ont fait plusieurs morts aussi bien dans les rangs de l’armée que du côté du Mfdc. Avant-hier seulement, un sous-officier a été tué ainsi que plusieurs rebelles au cours de cinq heures d’affrontements violence that lasted five hours in northern Sindian, if one believes a military source. The brief surprise visit of the head of the Catholic Church in the Senegalese capital of the south there a link with the atmosphere of insecurity noted in recent days in Casamance? Still, this initiative raises hope in Casamance, especially since Bishop remains one of the few personalities in Senegal in which the MFDC, including scrub, continues to trust. Remains whether this series of meetings will resume a peace process almost nonexistent, sacrificed on the altar of deadly clashes that mark for some time, daily in Casamance.
