Dakar is the capital city of Senegal, located on the Cape Verde Peninsula, on the country's Atlantic coast. Its position, on the western edge of Africa (it is the westernmost African city), is an advantageous departure point for trans-Atlantic and European trade; this fact aided its growth into a major regional port.
In 2005 the population of the metropolitan area was estimated at 2.4 million people, of which about 1 million live in the city of Dakar proper.
Dakar is a major administrative centre, home to the Senegal National Assembly and Senegal Presidential Palace. |

Olà Joao,
I was in Senegal in June, it is a very warmful and nice country. Your compo is nice and shows perfectly well the building but there such a big big contrast between this view and the reality of the city and daily life of people.
Presidential elections will take place in February, waiting ...
