This episode provides context to the major protests that erupted in Senegal in early March. Most importantly, it goes into the history of French neocolonialism in Senegal and imperialism throughout West and Central Africa. Topics include la Françafrique, the CFA currency, the proposed ECO currency, French militarism, and more. We encourage listeners to learn directly from grassroots organizations on the ground in Senegal, especially Front pour une révolution anti-impérialiste populaire et panafricaine (FRAPP): https://www.frapp.sn/.
