Senegal in a nutshell

(sourced from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senegal)

Senegal (French: le Sénégal), officially the Republic of Senegal, is a country south of the Sénégal River in western Africa. Senegal is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Mauritania to the north, Mali to the east, and Guinea and Guinea-Bissau to the south.

Gambia lies almost entirely within Senegal, surrounded by it on the north, east and south; from its western coast, Gambia's territory follows the Gambia River more than 300 kilometres (186 miles) inland.

The population of Senegal is nearly 12 million - its size is almost 197,000 km²

Dakar is the capital city of Senegal, located on the Cape Verde Peninsula on the country's Atlantic coast.

About a third of the population live below the international poverty line of US$ 1.25 a day.[3]

Senegal is subdivided into 14 regions, each administered by a Conseil Régional (Regional Council) elected by population weight at the Arrondissement level. The country is further subdivided by 34 Départements, 103 Arrondissements (neither of which have administrative function) and by Collectivités Locales, which elect administrative officers.
