"Sud" has been closed for most part of the day because after the radio
interviewed Salif Sadio, leader of the armed wing of the secessionist
Democratic Forces Movement of Casamance (MFDC). Police arrived around 9
o'clock in the morning during the airing of the interview and ordered
to stop all transmissions.
The order was given by Interior Minister Ousamane Ngom, in the interests of State security, he said.
After a 22 year independence war to separate Casamance region from
