- 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.

He is right!
These new generation of African leaders are not stupid like the old ones
`
@davidleandro7026..Because the old one where ''shaped and educated'' by the former colonial powers to serve their interest. Many where educated in Paris with goal to make them think they where part of the Franceafrique elite with false sense of beneficial relationship. The goal was to place leaders who would create avenue to cheap acces to natural recources but at the same time award those who serve the interest of the west. Like Mobutu and othes.
nobody is stupid. it is more about personal gain and association
Most of them were bought. The new leaders don’t have a price tag
Absolutely correct
Yes, immediately
Congratulations senegal i wish Nigeria can regain sovereignty too
It's not possible because Nigeria is ruled by an old fo*l who has chosen to become a new colony for France
Actually, this is one thing Nigeria has always had. As a Nigerian, I can’t even imagine foreign military bases in our country. The hell?
@@wise5674 we have worst than that tank. Our nation has been hijacked
Nigeria never has a foreign military base since independence. What kind of sovereignty are you talking about?
Honestly, Nigeria may have incompetent leadership, but it's not a puppet country. Their problems are different. Corrupt and inefficient? Definitely. But neo-colonized? Definitely not.
Dudes got a point...
But dude can't hold the country together.
@@Muralidharan001
Senegal 🇸🇳 is peaceful
@@Muralidharan001Sénégal is a pretty stable country.
@@Muralidharan001 Duning Kruger strikes again...
France will accidentally sponsor a coup to stop this😂
They haven't successfully implemented a single coup lately 😂😂😂😂
Trust them, they are good at that😂
@@elmoworld850 Dombouya and the guy in Gabon.
Need money for that
They have Russia behind then..
Yes, get them out
You don’t give an enemy a second chance.
You are point. Africa should wake up and say enough of this nonsense
France still has to get its uranium from somewhere
No worries , France can open it's army bases in Israel 😂😂😂
Yes 😅
And USA 😅
Funny
Yes yes plz
No need for that. They can join others to open bases in Ukraine, Baltic countries and Northern Finland near the russian northern fleet. 😂😂😂
why france cant open army bases in london other in australia plz😂😂
Stable Countries with stable governments. I think thats the reason.
@@joemosely9383They're the ones that cause instability
@@MnrGouws How Do they Cause Instability, when African Nations requested & signed contracts for these security deals ?
@@joemosely9383stable? 😂😂
@@joemosely9383they are force to comply if they don't you impose sanctions Zimbabwe is a good example.you pretend as if the west care about Africa all you need milk our resources and then turn back blame us, causes fractions among us,creating coups,fund rebels then you come and build military base to protect chaos you created.we know devils acts and pack your military and go
Senegal now attaining independence
Senegal has full right of its sovereignty...
❤❤ Senegal
No..they are black goons from dirtiest land of Africa 😂😂
We will never allow these criminals to continue to exploit us.
European and Asian countries should also kick out American military bases from there countries
Why ? They are white.
Trump would probably be happy to get out of Europe, but the Europeans would not want that because the American presence is a security guarantee for them. America is Europe's sugar daddy.
Africa has waking up from colonialism
They were aware of colonialism, they just couldn't do much against these western military bases and corrupted west installed elites. Africa was fully controlled by globalists.
Tell them or ordered them to do so.
Don't be so polite about it
Yes they should no military base of any country in another country
Well, it took them long enough!
Agreed. We should no longer be in the former occupied territories unless welcomed UN purposes.
Never! You are a curse everywhere!
He should now send out a message to all SENEGALESE PEOPLE TO COME HOME ,bringing their WEALTH AND EXPERTISE TO HELP BUILD AND SECURE THE COUNTRY😊🎉
Nobody care about Senegal like that. Not even there own people. Hate to say it but it's the truth. They rather die in the water trying to get to America or Europe vs staying in senegal and building it.
This guy is shaking France! May God protect him
Let's hope other countries will follow.
Good News 😊
Finally taking their independence and ending colonialism
If the president says to close army bases then you close the army bases, having an army in a country whose government and people don't approve is invasion so I think France has no options but to leave in the next few months.
My guy should avoid falling down from windows
Senegal, Burkino Faso has shown Africa the way. What we need is young fearless leaders. Out with the old and bring in the young
Why do France intend to stay despite their host country wanting them otherwise. That is double standards for a democratic state
Democracies are the most hypocritical scums on the planet
They don't intend to stay. France left after they were asked to do so in other places.
@@RaineriRifrance did not leave by choice, they were forced to leave.
@@Gambianman They have agreements of cooperation. No one pushed them out, they left voluntarily after they were asked.
Don't tell them to colse the bases, close them!
Wonderful news 🎉
We never had terrorists until when France started opening Military bases in our region.
You can’t just make stuff up. I don’t know about that..
@@johannlindstrom5948Yes colonisers support and fund these terrorist group.
@@johannlindstrom5948then if you don’t know why accuse him of making things up?
@@johannlindstrom5948You are brainwashed. You yourself get times and dates and see how it all co-relates. France is now helping the so called terrorists and labelling them as freedom fighters after all these years. Also France has threatened to invade Niger when the coup leaders initially told their troops to leave. They are playing games they only want the countries resources. Living like Patrick Star lad ay?
Ofcos he won’t attend but if it was to open another base, am sure there won’t be conflict of schedule 😂
France is losing it's colonial and imperialist stronghold in Francophone West African countries. France looking elsewhere and recently invited my unserious president Tinubu of Nigeria to France. I cry for my country.
Very well. Kudos.
Congratulations forever. ❤❤❤
The only country that is still knelling shamelessly and not ready to see and welcome liberation from France is Ivory cost
Why can't France open army bases in New York,Toronto,London and Madrid
From ANGOLA;Africa; VIVA Captain Thomas Sankara VIVA Muammar Gaddafi VIVA AFRICA; VIVA Russia
Why viva Russia.. come on guys
@@matsikajarichawhy not?
@@masterzoovie7442because they’re robbing Africa’s gold and diamond mines blind lol and you keep cheering them on🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@matsikajarichayes Uraa Russia 🇷🇺. Africa has no problem with Russia
Yep they should. Time to get out
He didn’t WANT to attend
Not should expel them they're clear danger to your country.
GREAT MOVE!
Imagine if there were Senegales army bases in France and any other European nation. They would lose it.
Imagine having to explain yourself for making a decision like this? Like how many foreign military bases are there in France?
Africans are proud of your brave decision.
Good job, viva Senegal ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I strongly believe in reciprocity
i don't understand why would a country open a military base in another land it is a direct attack on their sovereignty in case there is singificant imminent threat which france absolutely doesn't have from senegal or it's neighbours i can still understand
Then a coup happens, then they have to call foreign military for help…
That is easier said than done
More power to these fresh new leaders in Senegal! 💪
No dont let them leave until you figure out how to get their messages so your children will know when they plan to come back
Whenever you go to the Masjid please put some coins in the Zakat Box 📦 Allah loves Zakat Alhamdulila 📦❤😊😊😊
this is how you African work
Let them open military basis in China or Japan.
Congratulations 💐 Sénégal
Senegalese should know the real history and persecutions perpetrated by France.
Why are asking, demand for it where is the authoritarian talk of it not should but must close like NOW 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Thank you President Basirou
Please make sure they don't come anywhere near to your county's bases. Ever again!
a country's dignity
Unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict meaning there are other more important things for him to attend to.
Not only the bases, they should stop collecting ‘tribute' also.
To hell with all those so called Army bases In Africa not only Senegal Good move Faye...we are 100% with you
Remember, it's not enough to say France should close its Military outposts in Senegal. It should be legally binding by both laws; French and Senegal.
Am an African but we will never learn and we have failed to know our enemy and we hate development period
Then just close it, I don't see what the big deal is.
it doesn't work like that. It's not a door they're closing
I like the new generation of leadership in Africa. Things will change.
He's basically saying no more gold for France 😂
If Europe wants friendship then no military no army no soldiers in French uniform
I can't understand how french peoples are so proud of themselves to day with such of bab memories.
This should go to All western military bases in Africa
France can move its army bases to London
Do you mean foreign troops are still operating in Africa in bases???
Good on Senegal.
The President of Senegal instructed The Leader of France to remove his Army Base from Senegal.
Bravo Senegal president hopes other leaders would learn lessons 🎉🎉🎉
Goed be with him and suport him
Why does this map show somaliland who's at war with SSC and the Awdal as a separate country from Somalia but not Puntland who has no land disputes with anyone in Somalia?
They need to leave totally. As in yesterday.
Good!
Let’s assume there is no ill will between Senegal and France any longer (there are many Senegalese living in France, including two former presidents and I presume the current president seems to like France quite a bit, his 2nd wife lived there). What is a value of kicking out a relatively highly skilled military force to provide support in case of an unexpected attack.
The US has bases in multiple countries including the UK, Japan, and Senegal has bases in Gambia. On that basis there is no good reason for doing this other than dubious decision to put the national security of the country at risk.
"Scheduling conflict." Africa of this generation should not make the mstakes of their ancestors.
Our young is our hope
Right move
Plus get a look at their weapons they hid
Whoever constructs a Masjid, Allah will build a palace for that individual in paradise and grant JANNATUL FIRDOUS immediately..
My man.
The greedy leaders in power in Africa is what is causing all these. Individually, people can’t allow it.
Thank you 🙏🏿
A Luta contunua ✊🏾💪🏾
Tell them to get out of Senegal
French world war fighters are celebrated every year without the mention of African soldiers, just like Britain does. Yet these soldiers after their sacrifice, cleaned from history and denied payment. Some of these soldiers shot and killed, just for asking for what they were owed
Good start, gradual march to true independence.Congratulation Fayale.
Over 300 of them
Nigeria it’s your turn
couch it as national interest, when it is motivated by political interest. the same victim game is exploited over and over again by politicians.
When they Close The Bases, Dont come back under any circumstances. Not For Security or Humanitarian reasons. Let them figure it out.
We solve our own problems.
Don’t come back for minerals, under any circumstances…figure it out on your own
@@xyz835 No need to come back. Minerals can be bought on the open market.
@@joemosely9383 then we are all good:) buy them there
The remaining soldiers will be dress as civilians..just changing tactics..they are not going anywhere
Senegal needs to completely cut ties with imperialist France.
there will be mysterious rebels soon in Senegal
Good luck and goodbye France
War in ukrain lifted the lid and cracks
Silence in Gaza showed hypocrisy
World awake and my 9 weeks old son will hear about this even though he can't understand me officially 😂
