Senegal was a country remarkable for its religious tolerance, no doubt due to its president, Leopold Senghor, one of the few African heads of State to write to Malawi’s President Banda in support of Jehovah’s Witnesses during the terrible persecution that took place in Malawi in the 1970 ’ s.
Senegal oli tähelepanuväärne riik oma religioosse sallivuse poolest, milles kahtlemata oli oma osa president Léopold Senghoril, ühel vähestest Aafrika riigipeadest, kes 1970 - ndatel aastatel, mil Jehoova tunnistajaid Malawis rängalt taga kiusati, kirjutas Malawi presidendile Bandale tunnistajate toetuseks kirja.
