Senegal Joins Chad in Rebuke of Macron on French Base 'Negotiations'

Earlier, following French President Emmanuel Macron's criticism of African leaders for a lack of gratitude, Chadian authorities rebuked his remarks, emphasizing the need for French leaders to respect African sacrifices. N'Djamena asserted its pursuit of true independence, urging Macron to address France's own problems instead.
Following Chad, Senegal also rebuked
French President Emmanuel Macron's claim that the departure of French bases in Africa was "negotiated."
"This statement is completely wrong. No discussion or negotiation took place to date, and the decision taken by Senegal results from its sole will, as a free, independent and sovereign country," Senegalese Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko asserted on January 6.
He then addressed the French president's assertion that no African country would be sovereign today without
French intervention, and countered it, reiterating that France "possesses neither the capacity nor the legitimacy to guarantee Africa's security and sovereignty."
Sonko argued that France "frequently contributed to destabilizing some African countries," demonstrably worsening the security situation in the Sahel.
In conclusion, the Senegalese prime minister addressed Emmanuel Macron, emphasizing the contribution of African soldiers who were "forcibly mobilized, mistreated, and ultimately betrayed" for France during World War II. He pointed put that if it had not been for African soldiers,
France might have still been occupied by Germany.
