Jour du Souvenir de l'AFIS

The Senegalese gendarmerie, one of the most respected institutions in the country, marks its founding with ceremonies at its headquarters in Dakar. The gendarmerie plays a dual role as both military and police force, and its officers are a constant presence on Senegalese roads and in rural areas where the regular police have little reach.

Animals of Guinea Day

You spot the spotted hyena, African forest elephant, and western chimpanzee roaming Guinea's savannas and rainforests. You see that Guinean households most often keep goats, chickens, and dogs for both practical and companionship purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
