A long-awaited report commissioned by Senegal into the 1944 killing of dozens of African soldiers by French forces was to be handed to President Bassirou Diomaye Faye on Thursday. Officials hope it will clarify the disputed death toll from the Thiaroye massacre.
The shootings took place at the Thiaroye military camp just outside Dakar after African troops who had fought for France in World War II protested against delays in pay.
