Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye told AFP Thursday that France should close its military bases in the West African state as it prepared to mark the 80th anniversary of a notorious colonial slaughter. Faye said that France’s President Emmanuel Macron had admitted that his country’s troops were responsible for a “massacre” of Senegalese soldiers in 1944.

They have their land, they can put their military bases, not in Africa, they use those so called bases for theft purposes not security, very glad to have such wake up leaders, or they can ask PUTIN for a piece of land for their bases😭😭
More power to these fresh new leaders in Senegal! 💪
France must leave Africa because they have nothing to offer. Africa cannot continue to feed her and her poor people.
❤
Then a coup happens, then they have to call foreign military for help…
Good move Senegal

Right move
We don't want empty words but actions. Don't ask, do it, or remain a loudmouth leader of a neocolony.

I am still finding it hard to trust Faye ..He has this double personality manifestation..One minute he is pan African another minute he is coming out pro west ..
Red faces are shameless devilish thieves
Not a mutiny if you request what is fair and due. Also, it wasn’t dozens of individuals but hundreds. You need to fact check and be more careful with word choices and the problematic and/or false narrative they conjure.
Now let's see countries close US army bases
I had to leave Senegal because there was no work now. I’m in the Canary Islands a lot of people from Senegal. I want to go to the Canary Islands for a better life now I’m going to Spain.
We are proud of the Senegal president and Burkina Faso. Let's hope Botswana will wake up and remove America military base in their country
Another puppet
