Senegal diaspora in Africa

According to the United Nations, 299,000 people from Senegal live in Africa.

In total, 734,000 people from Senegal live abroad, and about 41% of them live in Africa.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

No community for people from Senegal exists in Africa on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

There, the largest diasporas also come from Palestine, Syria, France, Iraq, and the United Kingdom, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

Every April 4, the national day brings the Senegal diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.

Elsewhere, the Senegal diaspora also lives in France, Italy, and Spain. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
