The Thiaroye Massacre: France’s Hidden WWII Crime in Senegal

الوصف

Eighty years ago, hundreds of African soldiers who fought for France in World War II were massacred at Camp Thiaroye in Senegal — unarmed, unpaid, and betrayed by the very country they defended. For decades, France called it a “mutiny,” erasing the truth from textbooks and archives. But a new investigation has finally uncovered what really happened , and why it was planned all along. In this episode, I dive deep into the Thiaroye Massacre — France’s hidden WWII crime — connecting it to global patterns of Black betrayal, from African American veterans after WWI to the colonial troops France exploited across West Africa. Through history, truth, and reflection, this story challenges the myths we were taught about “liberation” and reminds the diaspora that reclaiming the African story means reclaiming power. 🎧 Listen to Full Audio Episodes: Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/prof...
