The Thiaroye massacre was a massacre of French West African soldiers by the French Army on December 1, 1944, near Dakar, French Senegal. The soldiers, members of the Tirailleurs Sénégalais, had recently been repatriated from prison camps in Europe and were protesting poor conditions and unpaid wages at the Thiaroye military camp. A confrontation between the soldiers and French troops resulted in a deadly fusillade, with estimates of the number of dead ranging from 35 to 300 people.learn more on wikipedia
