According to Senegalese historian Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop, the ancient name of Africa was Alkebulan, which means "mother of mankind" or "garden of Eden". The name was used by the Moors, Nubians, Ethiopians, and other indigenous people.
The name Africa was given to the continent by the ancient Romans and Greeks. Some experts believe that the name Africa comes from two Phoenician words, "friqi" and "pharika", which translate to "corn" and "fruit".
The word "Africa" came into existence in the late 17th century. Initially, it only referred to the northern part of the continent. Around that time, the continent had been colonized, and the Europeans ruled over its people as slaves. They influenced the change of identity from Alkebulan to its present name.

SENEGALESE President-elect, Bassirou Diomaye Faye promised to REPLACE the French-sponsored currency CFA Franc with the country's new National currency.

▪️During their presidential campaign launch on 10 March, 2024, his coalition party backed by popular firebrand Ousmane Sonko promised to create a new national currency and renegotiate mining and energy contracts.

▪️In his 84-page election platform, Faye said Senegal needs to take back control of its economy.

"Convinced that full independence cannot be achieved without controlling the economy, livestock management, fisheries, and agriculture, we are fully committed to achieving food, digital, fiscal, energy and scientific sovereignty," Faye said.

▪️Though the move would pose another threat to West Africa's CFA franc currency, some junta-led states in the region such as Burkina Faso, Guinea and Mali have also said they might abandon it.

▪️The idea of a new currency is popular among some people in Senegal, who think that the CFA franc, the shared currency inherited from French colonial rule, isn't helping an underdeveloped economy.

▪️The 84-page platform listed a number of measures that would need to be implemented before a new currency could be introduced.

▪️The CFA franc was created as an alternative to the dollar and is used in 14 countries in Central and Western Africa.
