Maitre Abdoulaye Wade, President of the Republic of Senegal, is seeking the release of MFDC militants believed to be arrested in The Gambia some months ago.

According to the Senegalese Press Agency (APS), a delegation headed by Serigne Diop, last Wednesday called on the Gambian leader, Dr Alhagie Yahya Jammeh, at State House to deliver a special message from his Senegalese counterpart.

In an interview with APS on their return in Dakar, Special Envoy Serigne Diop said that they were well received by President Jammeh, who promised to study Me.Wade’s request with care.
Mr. Diop disclosed to APS that President Wade’s seeking the release of MFDC militants currently being detained in Banjul, is a clear demonstration of his total commitment to restore peace in Casamance.

“He could have been happy with the arrest of the militants but on the contrary he wants to see them free,” Mr. Diop told Senegalese Press Agency.

According to the Agency some 20 MFDC militants including Abdoulaye Diediou, Secretary-General of the Interior wing of MFDC, and Ismaila Magne Dieme, Commander of the Front North of Diakaye are currently detained in Banjul.
But it is learnt from informed sources that this request is conditional on Senegalese government meeting certain conditions.
