Summary:

It was a departure they never had time to prepare for. Seeking to escape death - sometimes amidst fighting between the Senegalese army and rebels in the southern region of Casamance - thousands fled their homes and abandoned livestock and property. Over the past two decades many have resettled in successive waves in Ziguinchor, a major city in Casamance.
