SUWAIBOU JATTA DETAINED
Suwaibou Jatta (a separatist) of the Movement Democratic Forces du Casamance (MFDC) is detained at the Maximum Security Wing of the Mile Two Central Prisons, a source informed this paper.
The Casamance secessionist was arrested and detained by state security agents. Reasons precipitating his arrest and detention are yet to be made public.
In a separate development, the death of Father Abbe Diamacoune Senghore (the initiator of the Casamance rebellion) has left a leadership crisis in the separatist movement. Some of the movement’s big wigs want Jean Francoise Marie Biaggui to lead the MFDC, while some of the movement’s stalwarts are opposed to any move that will see Biaggui rising to the apex of the group.
Casamance insurgents have waged a protracted guerilla warfare that has left hundreds of people dead and maimed.
