The French carried out the massacre in Senegal by France II. Fighting soldiers in MG

80

years ago

01 December 1944,

II. The French committed a massacre against the Senegalese who fought for France during the World War. It's known as the Thiaroye massacre because it happened in the city of the same name.

Many of these Senegalese soldiers were former Nazi prisoners of war and were holding a demonstration asking for the money owed to them by the French army for demobilizing the troops. They were shot by French gendarmes and colonial armies.

There is controversy with the death toll. A French military document states that 35 were killed, another 70, and Senegalese historians cite the number of 191 deaths.

The massacre opened a great deal of rage among the Africans who fought for the French.

Bamako hosts the plaza dedicated to the martyrs of Thiaroye.
