“THE FLAG STILL STANDS!” THE POLITICAL RECONVERSION OF THE INTERNALLY EXILED INDEPENDENTISTS OF CASAMANCE

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the different trajectories of former combatants of the Mouvement des Forces Democratiques de Casamance (MFDC) in southern Senegal, focusing on the political prosecution of the armed struggle.
