epa11751855 Members of an association dedicated to the memory of 'Tirailleurs Senegalais', African soldiers who fought alongside the French during World War Two, take part in the 80th anniversary of the 'Thiaroye Massacre', at the Thiaroye Military Camp, about 15km east of Dakar, Senegal, 01 December 2024. On 28 November 2024 and for the first time, French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged that the 01 December 1944 killing by the French army of West African troops called Tirailleurs Senegalais, who fought alongside the French during World War II and who were demanding their back pay, was 'a massacre'. The exact number of soldiers killed is not known, historians put it between several dozens to several hundreds. EPA/JEROME FAVRE
