Senegal
Introduction [Top of Page] Background: Independent from France in 1960, Senegal joined with The Gambia to form the nominal confederation of Senegambia in 1982. However, the envisaged integration of the two countries was never carried out, and the union was dissolved in 1989. Despite peace talks, a southern separatist group sporadically has clashed with government forces since 1982. Senegal has a long history of participating in international peacekeeping.

    The West African regions of Senegambia (Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau) and the Western Sudan (Mali, eastern Guinea, etc.) feature a wide variety of 'traditional' social systems and cultures. We find various systems of kinship (patrilineal, matrilineal and mixed forms), of political centralisation (from 'acephalous' to 'state'), different artistic expressions, ecological habitats, agricultural and economic specialisation, etc. Both regions are also endowed with comparatively abundant historical sources (medieval Arab geographers, Portuguese navigators of the fifteenth century, European and Cape-Verdian traders, etc.). These afford us with a considerable time-depth of textual documentation.
    All of these features render the region an ideal location for social/cultural-anthropological studies, both synchronic and diachronic, as well as for historical studies. An even greater time-depth is attained by archaeology, for which the region also offers great prospects. Quite some research has already been carried out in and near the flood plains of the rivers

Vieira, speaking to reporters before heading for Bissau aboard a French military helicopter, said: ``The Abuja peace agreement is a victory for my people and I hope a definitive end to the conflict has now been achieved and will be honored.'' Mane, who is expected to head Tuesday for Guinea-Bissau where his forces are largely in control, remained silent. The two leaders returned with Gambian President Yahya Jammeh who had taken them late last week to the Nigerian capital Abuja where they signed the accord after intense efforts by regional heads of state.

    Geography
    The coast of this area of Africa is on the south Atlantic Ocean, much of it trending east-west. Portions of this coast were once known as the Grain Coast, the Gold Coast, and the Ivory Coast. The slave trade was conducted heavily in this area; most African Americans are descended from slaves transported from West Africa.

Its position, on western edge of Africa, is an advantageous departure point for trans-Atlantic and European trade; this fact aided its growth into a major regional port. The city of Dakar formed around a French fort, and it replaced Saint-Louis as the capital of French West Africa in 1902. It was the capital of the short-lived Mali federation from 1959 to 1960, after which it became the capital of Senegal.
