Senegal's Sonko wants to reassess ties with France
[AFRICANEWS] A reset of Africa's relations with Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
is the only future in sight, Senegal
... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees...
's Prime minister predicted Thursday (May 16).

Ousmane Sonko pointed to a decisive context which requires a change in historical patterns.

The leader of the PASTEF political party held a conference on the future of Africa-Europe ties.

He hosted leftwing politican Jean-Luc Mélenchon who is a former French presidential candidate .

Speaking at the Cheikh Anta Diop University, in Dakar, Sonko said La Belle France's military presence in his country and across the continent raised legitimate concerns. He questionned the impact on national illusory sovereignty and strategic autonomy of the concerned African states.

He gave as an example La Belle France's decision in 1966 to close all NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
bases on the territory on illusory sovereignty grounds.

According to the French ministry for Armed Forces, nearly 400 soldiers providing regional military training are based at two camps in Dakar.

Ousmane Sonko said that his view do not call into question existing defense agreements with other countries.

In 2010, Senegal retook control of several military bases held by its former colonial ruler following an agreement.
