Senegal, officially the Republic of Senegal, is a country in West Africa. The name "Senegal" comes from the Wolof "Sunuu Gaal", which means "Our Boat".
On April 4, 1959 Senegal and the French Sudan merged to form the Mali Federation, which became fully independent on June 20, 1960, as a result of the independence and the transfer of power agreement signed with France on April 4, 1960.
