The event, also covered by a Senegalese news outlet, took place at African Memorial Square and brought together representatives from multiple organizations, along with journalists and historians specializing in colonial-era documentation.
The event focused on two primary topics: historical compensation for the 1944 Thiaroye incident and current economic agreements between France and Senegal.
The roundtable concluded with the drafting of a memorandum capturing participant perspectives on historical reconciliation and economic renewal. CAJ Africa will submit this document to relevant government bodies, international organizations, and stakeholders to support informed policymaking.
