| The Senegalese Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko, has raised the possibility of closing French military bases in the country. | |
| Speaking at a conference in the capital, Dakar, Mr Sonko wondered why Senegal still had several French bases, more than 60 years after independence from France. | |
| Mr Sonko questioned the impact of the French military presence on the country's sovereignty. | |
| "I reiterate here the desire of Senegal to have its own control, which is incompatible with the lasting presence of foreign military bases in Senegal," the premier is quoted as saying. | |
| France has about 350 troops in Senegal. | |
| He promised to strengthen ties with Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger who have pushed out French troops and turned to Russia for help in fighting jihadist insurgencies. | |
| Mr Sonko, a firebrand politician, was appointed prime minister by his protégé, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, who was elected president in March. | |
