Senegal’s Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko has announced the closure of all foreign military bases without setting a timeline for the exit of foreign troops. Sonko announced the closures Friday during his general policy statement to the National Assembly. “The President of the Republic has decided to close all foreign military bases in the very near future,” he said. France has already left Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, and began the process of exiting Chad this month after decades of military cooperation.
