Senegal's Sonko says foreign military bases to close

Ousmane Sonko, Senegal's newly appointed Prime Minister, has announced plans to close French military bases in Senegal, advocating for a shift towards national sovereignty and self-reliance. In an interview with France 24, Sonko emphasized the need for Senegal to develop its own defense capabilities, suggesting that the presence of foreign military bases is no longer necessary. He highlighted the importance of reevaluating Senegal's relationship with France, its former colonial power, and proposed a new partnership model that would respect Senegal's autonomy. This move is part of a broader initiative to strengthen Senegal's military and reduce foreign military presence, reflecting a growing trend of African nations reasserting control over their security and foreign policy.
