Casamance is the area of Senegal south of The Gambia including the CasamanceRiver.
The Casamance Conflict has, at times, lead to violent confrontations with Senegalese forces and killings for decades at the end of the 20th century.
The Casamance was subject to both French and Portuguese colonial efforts before a border was negotiated between the French colony of Senegal and Portuguese Guinea (now Guinea-Bissau) to the south.
