		As our arrival at Ziguinchor was planned for December 4, we decided to take a few days off and visit Medina Gounass, about 90 kilometers (56 miles) from Tambacounda and not on our direct route.

		All three children were university students who had come back to Ziguinchor for a visit but decided, because of the difficult roads and the lack of security in the region, to return by boat.
		For this woman who came to Ziguinchor as a girl in 1956, the 20,000 CFA francs (about US $35) price tag on a return ticket to Dakar is too steep given the new weight limits imposed by the safety-conscious ferry operator.

		Gassama does not have a griot’s surname because he was adopted at the age of 3 by Jali Messin Cissokho, a griot from Ziguinchor who played a kora with 28 strings, making it one of the most complex versions of the instrument ever made.

	Senegal: Casamance civilians shelled by the Mouvement des forces démocratiques de Casamance (MFDC)
		This attack by armed elements of the MFDC led to an exchange of fire with the Senegalese army which caused the start of an exodus of inhabitants from the areas surrounding Nema II and Kandialang, and the evacuation of schools such as the Djinabo secondary school, situated close to the airport.
		The shellings at Ziguinchor took place at a time when hopes were emerging of the opening of negotiations between the MFDC and the Senegalese Government.
		In any case, the three shelling incidents in Ziguinchor show that opponents of the peace process are in possession of powerful weapons and are bent on ensuring that their point of view is taken into account.
