Senegal recovered his bases from France

According to RCO News Agency, the Senegalese government has taken control of these bases as the process of leaving French troops from their bases in Senegal.

The move has been carried out following the recent departure of French troops from other African countries, including Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad and Ivory Coast, indicating a change in the Paris military strategy in the area.

According to French media, the French Embassy in Dakar has announced that the control of residential facilities and places in the Marshall and Saint -Experimental areas in the Senegalese capital has been officially transferred to the country.

Other military facilities will be transferred on another date, but no specific timetable has yet been presented.

Senegal, who gained independence from France in year 6, is one of Paris’s closest allies in West Africa and has been present in the country since then.

However, after the election of Basiro Diamieh Fay as President of Senegal in 2008, the new government has pledged to regulate relations with France within another foreign partners.

WiFi, a leftist “pan -Africian”, has emphasized the need to emphasize Senegal’s independence. “Senegal is an independent and sovereign country, and national sovereignty is in conflict with foreign military bases,” he said in December. His government has announced that all foreign forces, including French forces, will leave Senegal by the end of the year.

The withdrawal of French troops from Senegal is part of its widespread decline in its military presence across Africa, especially in previous French colonies. French forces left their last base in Chad in January. In addition, the presence of France in financial countries, Burkina Faso and Niger has fallen sharply, and these countries have strengthened their relations with Russia.

In the context of these changes, France also handed over its military base on the Ivory Coast at the end of February after almost five decades of occupation. As the French military presence in countries such as Gabon and the Ivory Coast continues to decline, the French forces still have a significant presence in Djibouti, with about five troops deployed there.

Paris plans to use Djibouti as a key “launch point” for its future operations in Africa after its troops withdrawn from the coastal area.

France and Senegal formed a joint commission last month to facilitate the process of the withdrawal of French forces, aiming to return all French military bases to Senegal by the end of this year. The commission held its first meeting on February 7, and talks are underway to review the bilateral defense and security partnership between the two countries.
