The Republic of Senegal is located on the western-most part of Africa between Mauritania and Guinea-Bissau with its western border on the Atlantic Ocean. The population is approximately 12.5 million people.
Although the official language is French, regional languages are also recognised, Wolof being the most widely used. Senegal’s government is a republic with a president as chief of state and a prime minister as head of government.
In addition to being known as one of the most diverse and beautiful countries in Africa, Senegal is unique in many ways. The country has been held up as an example of one of the most stable democracies in Africa, with peaceful transitions of power. The people consider hospitality so important that it has become part of their national identity. Senegal is also known for its music style, called mbalax, which is a mix of Latin, Caribbean, and African music.

Senegal中的安全性
人身安全
扒手和搶劫包包等輕微犯罪在達卡時有發生,尤其是在人流密集的地區,例如獨立廣場、西濱海路、小濱海路餐飲區和高原區。首都的搶劫、入室盜竊和攻擊案件日益增多,有些案件還涉及武器。外國人經常光顧的飯店曾遭到持槍搶劫。街頭小販可能頑固不化,有時甚至具有攻擊性,尤其是在旅遊景點附近。您可能會面臨無證計程車司機濫收費用的風險,尤其是在機場。請提前透過您的住宿安排機場交通。達卡以外的犯罪率相對較低,但像玫瑰湖這樣的偏僻海灘在夜間可能會帶來危險。天黑後,土匪會在主要高速公路上活動,尤其是在中部和東部地區的恩迪烏姆和基迪拉之間以及基迪拉和坦巴昆達之間的道路上。請避免天黑後在高速公路上行駛。針對外國人的詐騙手段屢見不鮮,包括愛情騙局、商業提案以及要求支付簽證費的虛假工作邀約。冒牌計程車司機可能會假裝認識您,並收取過高的車費。請隨時攜帶護照或護照卡,因為塞內加爾法律要求提供有效身分證明。任何不配合並提供證明文件的人都可能被當局拘留。
極端暴力
塞內加爾境內尚未發生恐怖攻擊,但政府將恐怖主義視為首要安全威脅。包括「支持伊斯蘭與穆斯林」(JNIM)和「伊斯蘭國薩赫勒省」在內的恐怖組織在鄰國馬利活動,並在靠近塞內加爾邊境的馬里卡伊地區發動攻擊,該地距離塞內加爾不到40英里。風險源自於薩赫勒地區的不穩定局勢,尤其是馬利、茅利塔尼亞、尼日、查德和布吉納法索。由於邊境管控不嚴,邊境漏洞百出,邊境地區十分脆弱。恐怖活動可能蔓延至塞內加爾靠近馬利的東部邊境地區。邊境地區有綁架威脅,英國公民、遊客、人道工作者、記者和商務旅客都被視為合法目標。卡薩芒斯民主力量運動(MFDC)分離主義組織歷來在卡薩芒斯南部地區活動,儘管暴力衝突已減少。武裝匪徒偶爾在卡薩芒斯進行武裝搶劫,該地區還受到先前衝突遺留的地雷的困擾。自1990年以來,卡薩芒斯已有1,000多人死於地雷。在遠離主幹道的偏遠地區,尤其是幾內亞比紹邊境沿線,地雷仍然是一個令人擔憂的問題。選擇人流量大的路線和鋪砌道路行駛,可以顯著降低風險。
政治動盪
政治抗議和示威在塞內加爾很常見,尤其是在政府大樓和公共區域附近。 2021年至2024年間,反對派領袖奧斯曼·松科被捕引發的抗議活動演變成暴力事件,造成至少65人死亡,1,000多人受傷。 2023年6月,松科被定罪後,至少有23人在抗議活動中喪生。 2024年2月,麥基·薩勒總統延後總統選舉後,抗議活動爆發,造成至少3人死亡。安全部隊使用了包括實彈和催淚瓦斯在內的過度武力。達卡和其他城市的多個街區可能發生騷亂。抗議活動有時會阻塞主要道路,包括布萊斯·迪亞涅國際機場和達喀爾之間的路線。在騷亂期間,行動網路和社群媒體存取(包括Facebook、WhatsApp和Twitter)可能會在未經通知的情況下暫停。外國公民因參加未經政府批准的抗議活動而被起訴。示威活動通常發生在周五下午,並且可能迅速升級。避免參加所有政治集會和街頭示威活動。關注當地媒體,了解即將發生的抗議活動的資訊。如果您在達卡或其他大城市,一旦抗議活動開始,請儲備食物、水和燃料。如果您對抗議活動的地點或某個地區的安全等級有疑問,請留在住處。
應避免的區域
避開塞內加爾南部科爾達以西的卡薩芒斯地區,除非有直達斯基林角度假勝地的空中或海上交通,以及斯基林角和濟金紹爾之間的主幹道。武裝匪徒和分裂組織在這動盪地區零星活動。毛里求斯民主力量叛軍與政府軍之間的衝突仍在繼續,平民成為叛軍和匪徒的目標。數十年衝突留下的地雷仍然是卡薩芒斯各地的嚴重問題,尤其是在遠離主幹道的偏遠地區以及幾內亞比索邊境沿線。道路通常在夜間封閉,岡比亞邊境附近地區尤其危險。在與馬利接壤的東部邊境附近,特別是與馬里卡伊地區接壤的坦巴昆達和凱杜古地區,應提高警覺。來自馬裡的恐怖組織增加了在邊境附近的襲擊,造成安全壓力。由於恐怖主義和綁架風險,請避免前往與馬利和茅利塔尼亞接壤的偏遠邊境地區進行非必要旅行。官員可能會在毛里塔尼亞邊境口岸索要款項。恩迪奧姆和基迪拉之間的2號國道(RN2)以及基迪拉和坦巴昆達之間的1號國道經常發生土匪活動,尤其是在天黑之後。玫瑰湖(粉紅湖)旅遊區的偏僻海灘在夜間可能很危險。請結伴前往該地區,切勿獨自出遊。美國政府僱員禁止在天黑後前往卡薩芒斯的任何地方,並且必須與安全官員協調行程,通常需要結隊出行。
