Africa breaks free from French influence

France has officially withdrawn from Senegal, ending XX years of military presence.

The French handed over their last two military bases, including Camp Thiaroye — the country's largest military site — and the airbase at Dakar airport.

This marks the formal end of France’s mission in Senegal, where hundreds of troops had been stationed since 1960 under so-called “military partnership” agreements.

Senegal’s new president pushed for the withdrawal, vowing to restore sovereignty and build equal relations with the former colonial power.

Senegal follows a broader regional trend: since 2022, France has also been forced out of Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, and Gabon.
