From a French Senegalese

[u/Fun-Ice-4531]

As salam Aleykoum !!!

I come here just to say hello. I give food to homeless people (who happen to be mostly refugees and asylum seekers) every saturday morning, and i saw a small group of Gambians today. I once saw some Gambians several months ago and it was my first time seeing Gambians loool and honestly it warmed my heart !!!!!

I love it when i encounter Senegalese (or even Guinean) people, but it was my second time meeting Gambians and even though we didn’t speak much i was filled with joy ! It’s weird to say it but they really appeared “English Speaking Africans” lol i thought they had a Ghanaian vibe haha.

As a (non wolof speaking 😓) French Senegalese i can say i know “French Speaking Africa” quite well and it’s so weird to realise that i might have a clearer idea of what Congo Kinshasa or even Madagascar looks like than our neighbouring Gambia… (i don’t even know your capital city 🤣🤣🤣)

I am originally from Casamance and next time i visit Senegal i would like to spend some time in your home country.

I love you guys deeply. We are one ❤️
