France has acknowledged for the first time that its soldiers committed a 'massacre' in Senegal 80 years ago, resulting in the deaths of many West African troops from the Tirailleurs Senegalais unit. This acknowledgment comes as Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye discusses a reassessment of the relationship between Senegal and France. The incident, which occurred during protests over pay in 1944, has been a contentious issue, with Faye indicating a desire for full transparency and possibly an apology from France.
