Zusammenfassung:Senegal and the Gambia have met the instructions of the African Union Border Program (AUBP) since 2010 about boundary delimitation and demarcation in Africa. Settled from a British and French agreement and bordered during the colonial times, the Senegalese-Gambian borderline should, in this respect, be clearly defined and the existing limits highly strengthened.
