French Colonial Massacre in Senegal

Senegal seeks clarification from France over colonial massacre 80 years ago

The commemoration of the 80th anniversary of a colonial-era massacre in Senegal has brought to light the discrepancies in the official records of the event. According to the French military, between 35 to 75 African soldiers who fought for France during World War II were killed. However, historians dispute this claim, arguing that nearly 400 people died. The true scale and circumstances of the massacre remain unclear due to a lack of proper investigation and acknowledgment by France.
