African men from across France’s colonial empire on the continent were forcibly conscripted and mandated to fight in France’s wars throughout the 20th century. While these men came from numerous parts of the continent (Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Guinea, Cameroon, Gabon and elsewhere for example), they became collectively known as “tirailleurs sénégalais “ or Senegalese soldiers.
On this day in 1944 many of these men were in the process of returning home to their respective hometowns by way of Thiaroye, Senegal, the first stop for the soldiers on the African continent. Upon demanding that they receive their pensions and better treatment, they were massacred by French colonial forces.
Despite coming from various parts of West and Central Africa, these men found themselves in the same position and met with the same violence under the French colonial system. They struggled together collectively for better treatment and ultimately they were killed together.
Death to the French Empire !
Forward to the African revolution!

I really do recommend watching Camp de Thiaroye because it show the political ideas that would lead to a liberated Senegal and just how much the Thiaroye massacre has lived in the cultural memory of Senegalese citzens.

Au marché Thiaroye, la baisse des prix des produits de consommation tels que l’oignon et la pomme de terre, entre autres, est constatée en cette veille de fin du ramadan.

#Sénégal #Santé #Hôpital #Appui L’hôpital psychiatrique de Thiaroye, situé dans la banlieue de Dakar, a récemment bénéficié d’un soutien notable visant à améliorer ses infrastructures et services. Cette initiative met en lumière les défis persistants liés à la santé mentale au Sénégal, un domaine souvent négligé malgré son importance cruciale pour le bien-être global de la population. L’appui provient notamment d’organisations locales engagées dans des actions sociales, reflétant une prise de conscience croissante quant à la nécessité d’investir dans ce secteur. L’établissement, qui joue un rôle central dans la prise en charge des troubles psychiatriques, fait face depuis des années à des contraintes majeures. Parmi celles-ci figurent le manque de ressources financières, l’insuffisance du personnel médical spécialisé et l’état vétuste des infrastructures. Ces difficultés compromettent non seulement la qualité des soins offerts mais aussi l’accès des patients à des traitements adaptés. Le soutien reçu récemment constitue donc une bouffée d’oxygène pour cette institution, permettant d’envisager des améliorations concrètes. Cependant, cette aide, bien que salutaire, ne suffit pas à résoudre les problèmes structurels auxquels l’hôpital est confronté. La santé mentale reste un sujet tabou dans de nombreuses communautés sénégalaises, ce qui freine les efforts de sensibilisation et limite l’accès aux soins pour les personnes atteintes de troubles psychiques. De plus, le financement public alloué à ce secteur demeure insuffisant par rapport aux besoins croissants de la population. Pour surmonter ces obstacles, une approche multisectorielle est nécessaire. Cela inclut une augmentation significative des investissements publics et privés dans les infrastructures sanitaires dédiées à la santé mentale, ainsi qu’une intensification des campagnes de sensibilisation pour réduire la stigmatisation associée aux maladies mentales. Par ailleurs, la formation et le recrutement de professionnels qualifiés doivent être priorisés afin d’assurer une prise en charge adéquate. En définitive, l’appui apporté à l’hôpital psychiatrique de Thiaroye marque une étape importante mais insuffisante dans l’amélioration du système de santé mentale au Sénégal. Il est impératif que cette initiative s’inscrive dans une stratégie nationale plus large visant à garantir un accès équitable et durable aux soins psychiatriques pour tous. Read the full article

Experts call for transparency in Thiaroye Massacre
Senegal has requested full access to the Thiaroye massacre archives, as experts seek clarity regarding one of the country’s darkest moments in colonial history. Senegal’s new administration is committed to ensure that the tragedy is remembered, thus a ceremony was conducted at the Thiaroye military base to memorialize the victims. The massacre occurred on December 1, 1944, when the French troops…

In late November, both Senegal and Chad – independently of one another – moved to profoundly alter their longstanding relationships with the French military.
Senegalese President Diomaye Bassirou Faye, evoking the 80th anniversary of the massacre by French soldiers of Senegalese troops recently freed from German prisoner-of-war camps, at the Thiaroye camp near Dakar, told Le Monde that “soon there will be no more French soldiers in Senegal.”
Nearly 3,000 miles to the east, Chad’s government announced that it was withdrawing from a 2019 defense cooperation agreement with France. “Sixty-six years after the proclamation of the Republic of Chad,” the statement read, “it is time for Chad to affirm its full and complete sovereignty, and to redefine its strategic partnerships according to its national priorities.”
“Sovereignty” is a word that Washington should reflect upon carefully when assessing its own Africa policy. The incoming Trump administration may not have much of an Africa policy, especially early on – but U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and the permanent civilian bureaucracies at State, USAID, and elsewhere should know that their version of “partnership” may not land as intended in the current political climate of Africa, and especially in the Sahel region.
