France has acknowledged committing a massacre of African soldiers in Senegal in 1944, noting that the soldiers killed in the “Thiaroye” barracks in December of that year “died for France,” as it put it.
According to the decision published by the French National Office for Veterans and War Victims, and reported by the Turkish Anadolu Agency, the phrase “died for France” will be used to honor four soldiers from Senegal, one from Ivory Coast, and another from Burkina Faso.
This phrase is used to refer to soldiers who died in wars and military operations in which France participated.
The “Senegalese Riflemen” unit was composed of African soldiers who fought for France on several fronts during World War II.
When these soldiers returned to the Thiaroye barracks near the Senegalese capital, Dakar, and demanded their rights, they were killed by French soldiers who claimed that they were “rebels.”
Documents in the French archives show that African soldiers were shot under the pretext of mutiny, however, the French historian Armel Mabon states in his book “Indigenous Prisoners of War, Forgotten Faces of Occupied France” that the number of African soldiers killed was about 400.
