Gambia
and Senegalese transport association Saturday held a meeting at Brikama geared
towards erasing all issues facing travelers from both sides of the two borders
separating the sister nations.
A
scar was left by colonialism between the two societies who are destined to live
together from the beginning of time.
The
meeting between the secretariats of the Senegalese transport Union under
Karamba Goudiaby and the leaders of the regional transport unions of The Gambia
targets to authenticate the existing protocol of road transport between the
counties.
During
the meeting, Gambian transporters welcomed their Senegalese counterparts with
warm welcome and later escorted them to Brikama where the meeting was held. It
was another step towards establishing a reliable avenue for the free movement
of people and goods between the two countries.
Baye
Niasse Toure, head of the Nioro Garage in Kaolack attended the meeting and
shared the good news with his Gambian friends and family. Toure has strong
family relations in the Gambia which further strengthened the already existing
ties.
