Following a recent incident in Bullock, Senegal and Gambia have announced the finalization of a « definitive agreement » aimed at clarifying the precise delineation of their shared border.

This initiative will involve installing tangible boundary markers and launching an awareness campaign targeting communities residing along the frontier.
What were the underlying causes of the previous tensions? Will this new accord conclusively resolve these issues, or do potential points of friction still persist in the border region?
