Following a significant incident near Bullock, both Senegal and Gambia have confirmed the conclusion of a “definitive agreement” to precisely delineate their shared border.

This development prompts crucial questions: What were the underlying causes of previous tensions? Will this new accord finally resolve these long-standing issues, or do potential points of contention still exist on the ground?
