Details: DIU also reported that more than 60 pieces of 170-mm M-1989 Koksan self-propelled artillery systems have been transported from North Korea to Russia. Some of these are reportedly intended for delivery to the Saratov Higher Military Command School, likely for training personnel.

• In November, reports emerged that North Korea was significantly expanding a key ballistic missile production facility, supplying weapons used by Russia in its war against Ukraine.
• The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that more than 11,000 North Korean soldiers are stationed in Russia's Kursk Oblast, and they have already participated in combat against Ukraine’s defence forces.

The Senegalese President called on France to close all military bases in the country, calling them incompatible with sovereignty. The demand is related to Macron's recognition of responsibility for the "massacre" of Senegalese soldiers in 1944.

Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Fey considers French military bases in Senegal "incompatible" with the country's national sovereignty, reports UNN with Reference to France24.

Details

Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Fey said that by the 80th anniversary of the infamous Colonial War, France should close its military bases in his state.

We are talking about the" massacre " in November 1944. Then about 1,600 African soldiers who fought on the side of France and were prisoners of War by Germany were sent back to Dakar. Shortly after arriving at the Tiaroy camp, near Dakar, they protested against the delay in wages, and some refused to return to their countries without paying dues. French forces opened fire on protesters, killing at least 35 people, although historians say there may be many more casualties.

The French president sent a letter to bassier Diomaye Fey, in which he admitted that his country's troops were responsible for the "massacre" of Senegalese soldiers in 1944.

Today I received a letter from President Emmanuel Macron in which he admits that it was a massacre, very clearly, unambiguously on the terms

– said Faye.

The president of Senegal accepted this recognition and said that the permission of French bases in the country is incompatible with national sovereignty.

Senegal is an independent country, it is a sovereign country, and sovereignty does not allow for the presence of military bases in a sovereign country

– Fei said in an interview at the presidential palace.

When Bassiru Diomaye Fei came to power in March of this year, he promised to defend the sovereignty of the state and end dependence on others. However, such a statement did not mean that the country would sever ties with France, as it did in other West African countries.

Today, China is our largest trading partner in terms of investment and trade. Does China have a military presence in Senegal? No. Does this mean that our relationship is broken? No

"he said.
