- France officially returned its last two military bases in Senegal, eliminating permanent camps in West and Central Africa.
- This withdrawal concludes a 65-year military presence and reflects a broader African trend of redefining ties with former colonial powers.
- The pullout coincides with rising jihadist violence in the Sahel and Senegal's push for increased strategic autonomy.
- Despite the troop withdrawal, Senegal will continue cooperation with France while demanding colonial-era apologies and full military sovereignty by the end of 2025.
Senegal is an independent country, it is a sovereign country, and sovereignty does not accept the presence of military bases in a sovereign country.— Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye stated this at the end of 2024.
