Senegal is a West African country located in the Westernmost part of the African continent's mainland. the country is bordered by five countries namely; Mauritania, Mali, Guinea & Guinea Bisau, and Gambia. The country has an estimated population of 17 million people and its capital city is Dakar. In this video, we explore and discover Senegal. We look at the country's History, the People & culture and the country's economy.
DISCOVER AND EXPLORE SENEGAL
HISTORY
The name Senegal appears to be derived from that of the Zenaga Berbers of Mauritania and northern Senegal. Between the 10th and 12th century the legendary leader Njajan Njay founded the Jolof kingdom, which in the 16th century split into the competing Wolof states of Walo, Kajor, Baol, Sine, and Salum. Portuguese navigators reached Cape Verde about 1444; they established trading factories at the mouth of the Sénégal, on Gorée Island, at Rufisque, and along the coast to the south. In the 17th century their power was superseded by that of the Dutch and then the French. Other major towns of operation included; Saint Louis, Dakar and Rufique. Later, the locals noticed the injustices the were going through and this energized them to fight for their freedom and this enabled them get their independence in 1958 from the French.
PEOPLE AND CULTURE
Senegal is a country with abundant culture. The country has a population of 17 million people and its culture is preserved through oral traditions. The old men sit down the young generations to pass down the important information to these youngones. Much of the Senegalese culture is presrved through Music (Singing and dancing). The Senegalese staple foods are millet, rice, peanut, fresh seafood and many others.
Senegal is country with diverse culture and the largest tribal formation are the Wolof - 43%, Fula - 24%, Serer - 15%, Jola, Mandika, Soninke and others.
The country is predorminantly and Muslim country with muslims - 90%, christians - 5%, others - 5%.
ECONOMY
Traditionally, the Senegalese economy was built around a single cash crop and that's the peanut. However the government is trying to diversify with other cash crops such as cotton and sugarcane. The country also depends on its fishing industry. Since the beginning of the 21st century, they've also engaged in the mining of phosphates, Gold. Tourism is also another industry that they've dived into and it's paying off wholesomely.

I am based in the UK and I visited Senegal for 2 weeks. I fell in love with Senegal and plan to return in April 2022 having learned some Wolof, Jola (Cassa) and French languages. ❤ My favourite about your video is the People & Culture section. I liked the entire video.
Glad you enjoyed the video. You must be a very fast learner to grasp almost 3 languages in just a period of 2 weeks.
Definitely Senegal has a very diverse culture. One of the most beautiful countries on the continent.
Did you visit the city of Douala?
@@TheAfricanScript Ha ha. I learned very basic words and sentences while I was in Senegal and I continue to learn in the UK. Yes. Senegal and its people touched my spirit in a positive sense.

Glad you enjoy the videos Aaron.
Which other Africa countries have you been to apart from these you’ve mentioned?
From Texas
I did a Ancestry and found out I'm 6% Senegal. I hope I can go and see it. I had Friends always tell me Tina you a Sister. I never knew what they meant. Then I did the DNA and I inboxed them. They all laughed and said We knew it. I remember as a Kid crying cz my Hair wasn't like my 2 best friends. I would try to do the twist a bow at the end. Never worked. My Mom finally said We are all alike but not not our Hair.
But now that I know I really would love to just see it. I think it's pretty Cool.
There is a lot people that have the same last name as youin Senegal (SANÉ)
@@daddy6419 this is a Ex marriage name. Thx thou. I really hope one day to trek across the pond....
@@tinasaner4880 I recently did one and I have 4% it's not much but it's something.
@@MakaveliRaider True. I'm also 2% Jewish. I tell ppl Milk can be 2%, then I am Jewish ✡ .
I found out I was 3 percent senegal.
3:55 1958 independence for Senegal. Cool
Thank you.
Porche here from Arizona
Dakar's skyline is impressive.
What I liked is the economic diversification. Which some African nations have long resisted.
People tend to overlook the fact that part of Senegal was incorporated into the Moroccan empire.
Yeah they got a lot of their slaves from Senegal
Senegal has never been part of morrocan empire. Never.
@@diawaraoussey9091 Eastern Senegal was incorporated into the Ghana Empire. The Ghana Empire fell to the Almovarids who were based in what is called Morocco today.
@@oceejekwam6829 Ghana empire was located part of Mauritanie and part of Mali and it's a maybe a small part of Senegal. The almoravide invided one part of Ghana empire once the empire was weak and finishing. In the soninke oral griot history, they talk about the drought and the desert taking over the north part of the empire, populations started migrating to the south like today you will find soninke populations in south Mauritanie, mali,North and east of Senegal. Once again, the almoravide never ruled over the Senegal. I know the history of the region for speaking different languages and listening the griots singing the histories.
@@diawaraoussey9091 Thank you.
Great country and people
I like this Country. But why only 161 likes on 6200 views??
More are still coming on board Thomas.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Btw, have you need to any West African country?
Thank you for the content, this is serious i'm a single guy planning to move to Dakar from Lebanon to start a new life hopefully a better one even though i have no idea what's waiting for me, i am open minded and open for other's cultures so i won't have problems collaborating and communicating especially that i understand french very well. Please any advice from anyone who reads my message!? Thank you in advance, much respect.
I am watching from Louisiana usa
This is the California of Africa! The orange of the soil is a poppy flower.
Wow your country is beautiful! I’m interested in coming to visit you. I had a Uber driver from there tell me it’s a wonderful place to live and maybe start a family. Please share some info with me.
Glad you enjoyed the video Sean.
The best thing to do will be first paying a visit for o Senegal. Am sure you’ll enjoy the beautiful country
Decided to watch because I took an ancestry test that showed I was 2% "Senegambian". Also another random 2% of other African countires. I'm Mexican and learned that most Mexicans and other central American people have at least 1% African decent.
Same here.
Indianapolis, IN
I was in Africa for 3 years 😀😀😀 it nice
What part of
Good, atleast we feel confident
Yeah.
Good job. However, please note that Mauritania is the country to the North of Senegal and not Mauritius.
Thank you for the correction Paul.
Btw, have you ever been to Senegal?
SENEGAL IS A BEAUTIFULL COUNTRY . I am from Ethiopia
Beautiful indeed.
did a dna test and have 30% Portuguese and %12 Senegal. All this is very interesting
Hi, watching it from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. BTW you forgot to mentioned football of Senegal. Roger Milla, Duoff, Camera.
Great to have you here Dilruk.
Those were great footballers indeed.
The original jolof rice. It is the best!
Sénégalese leving in germany i confirme
They don't call our soccer team "THE LIONS OF TERANGA " for no reason. It literally translates into THE LIONS OF HOSPITALITY. Not an intimidating name for a sports team but we'd rather be known for our kindness than our ferocity. Visit if you ever get the chance. You'll make 17 million friends. ❤
Tourism is the way to go, Senegal. You've got that swimmable coast you can put beaches and resorts on.
North Carolina USA
Am 6 percent Senegal also
Doy you have candomble/vodun traditions there?
No
@@makhtardiop4203 Senegal is 93% Muslim!
I found out am 3 percent senegal so now am here.
Just a quick comment: Your video states that independence was obtained in 1958, but understanding is that it was in 1960... (???)
Thanks for the correction.
Btw, do you live in Senegal?
He's actually right.

Why is it that the Irish, the Scottish, the Flemish etc are not refered to as tribes? I mean they are no different than the different groups in Africa that are so described
They are tribes but I agree it all about propaganda and feeling of superiority which is now beginning to unravel spectacularly
@@sankofaha7557 I am not contending that "Tribes" is not an appropriate terminology to identify human demographic groupings. My point is the selectivity in which it is used, and thus the negative connotation applied to it.
@@keithwilliams5398 I agree with you. Even the most annoying thing is using skin colour to identify humans.
If people are of European origin they are European or Caucasian and therefore people of African origin must be called Africans period.
Spend time there and you'll understand. Tribe trumps even nationality in most of Africa. It makes sense because border lines in Africa are a western construct.
@@jamessquare Sigh! How many times have I stated this? I do not consider "Tribe" as a human demographic group description to be degrading. I am pointing out the W/S double standards. My ancestors were from Ghana. I am proud of that. Why is it that intellectual points made to illustrate W/S become ladders for inverse proportional ethnic ego flaunting
Visit Haiti 🇭🇹
As a European Christian I would have liked to see why you call it the most hospitable country in West Africa. Maybe you did and I missed it.
