Gambia to ban Senegalese vehicles for entering territory

-

The President of The Gambia Transport Union Omar Ceesay has revealed that The Gambia will February 19 effect ban of all Senegalese commercial vehicles to enter Gambia.

 This decision came after so many confrontation with the two country's transport unions.

 However, it was reported four day back that Senegalese authorities manhandled Star TV's cameraman at Karang for covering the negotiations between the two union. 

 The meeting was for the Senegal to allow Gambian buses to enter the city of Dakar, after Senegalese bold step to stop Gambian buses in their territory. 

 However, the Senegal's decision came after many Senegalese drivers envy the Gambian buses, saying they have taken their passengers, which caused them difficulties in their earnings.

 Meanwhile, it can be recalled that the past years, Senegalese drivers have been working within the Gambia's soils without any restrictions.
