Dakar is actively revising its colonial history by renaming streets and public squares that honor French colonial figures. This initiative aims to distance the nation from its colonial past and promote a more accurate representation of its history. Additionally, the government is updating educational materials to reflect this new narrative, ensuring that future generations understand and appreciate Senegal’s true heritage. These efforts are part of a broader movement to reclaim national identity and foster a sense of pride among Senegalese citizens.
