Frankrijk beëindigt na 65 jaar permanente militaire aanwezigheid in West-Afrika
The French military has completed its withdrawal from Senegal, ending 65 years of military presence in West Africa as Senegal's leadership emphasizes sovereignty and calls for France to apologize for historical colonial atrocities. This withdrawal reflects a broader trend of French military exits from the region, driven by a shift in the relationships with several African nations, many of which are turning towards Russian support.
