Casamance

Senegal

Casamance, a region in southern Senegal, carries 58 Bunkabop connections with 2439 other places across 15 topics, shaped by West African history, ecology, military conflict, and language diversity. History and nature form the two largest topic clusters, followed by government and military threads tied to the long-running Casamance separatist conflict, whose links spread across Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, and The Gambia. Portuguese traders established a presence in the area in the 15th century, and that colonial legacy runs through connections to Portugal and France as well.
