Senegalese police dismantled a separatist rebel base in the southern Casamance region and arrested 30 people on October 27, 2026. The base was the headquarters of the Casamance Movement of Democratic Forces (MFDC), which has sought independence since 1982. The Casamance region is separated from the rest of Senegal by The Gambia, and the low-intensity rebellion has lasted nearly 44 years.
