On December 27 local time, Senegalese Prime Minister Osman Sonko stated in his first major policy speech to the National Assembly, "The President of Senegal has decided to close all foreign military bases within the country in the near future." However, Osman Sonko did not specify a timeline for the withdrawal of foreign troops. Currently, the foreign military bases in Senegal are mainly French military bases, and last month, Senegalese President Faye stated in an interview that he would close the French bases in Senegal.
