Senegalese diaspora
The Senegalese diaspora refers to people of Senegalese origin living outside their home country. This migration has occurred over decades due to factors like economic opportunities, education, and fleeing conflicts or hardships. Many Senegalese have settled in nearby West African countries, as well as in France, the United States, and other parts of Europe and the world. The diaspora maintains cultural ties through language, traditions, and community organizations, contributing economically and culturally to both Senegal and their new countries. Their presence highlights the global mobility and enduring connections of Senegalese people worldwide.
