Understanding this dimension of the conflict is essential for the achievement of a peaceful settlement. It begins with a brief discussion of geographical, historical, cultural, and political factors. While rejecting a sectarian approach to religious aspects of Diola secessionism, I examine religious dimensions of land, property rights, and conflicts over the land. These became particularly intense after the abrogation of Diola property law in 1978 and the nationalization of land throughout Senegal. This threatened a sense of Diola autonomy as well the religious basis of understanding Diola property law and conflict resolution. The article concludes with a discussion of some of the difficulties of incorporating Diola land law into a local Casamance legal process.]]></p></abstract>

Compreender esta dimensão do conflito é essencial para a realização de uma solução pacífica. O artigo começa com uma breve discussão sobre fatores geográficos, históricos, culturais e políticos. Embora rejeitando uma abordagem sectária dos aspetos religiosos do secessionismo diola, examino as dimensões religiosas da terra, os direitos de propriedade e os conflitos sobre a terra. Estes tornaram-se particularmente intensos após a revogação da lei de propriedade diola em 1978 e a nacionalização da terra em todo o Senegal. Isso ameaçou o sentido de autonomia diola, bem como a base religiosa de compreensão da lei de propriedade diola e da resolução de conflitos. O artigo conclui com uma discussão sobre algumas das dificuldades da incorporação da lei da terra diola no processo legal local de Casamansa.]]></p></abstract>
