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.
A follow-up meeting is planned for December 2025 to review progress and coordinate ongoing efforts. This initiative exemplifies CAJ Africa's role in fostering dialogue and collaboration on key political and economic issues across the African continent.
