France announced the transfer of the last military bases on its territory to Senegal.
France is transferring its last military bases in the territory of this African country to the Senegalese authorities. This was reported on July 17 by France 24 TV channel.
France will officially hand over its last military bases in Senegal on Thursday, ending a 65-year presence in the country.
According to the publication, this step means that France is going to withdraw its troops from the former colonies amid a growing number of calls across Africa for the republic to end "its military presence."
On July 1, the French Embassy in Senegal announced that the republic had withdrawn its troops from a military base located in Rufiske near Dakar. It is specified that it has been used since 1960.
