...fuel and other goods from Senegal. And it cut off access to Gambia's sea port, through which goods flow to neighbors such as Mali and Guinea. Senegalese President Abdulaye Wade suggested that his country should buy its own ferry to use on the River Gambia - or even tunnel under its neighbor. There are many longer tunnels in the world, Wade said, and China had already offered to help dig one here. Earlier this month, regional power Nigeria stepped in to end the impasse.
