Senegalese president Wade argued Ghana and Mauritania finance economies better with own currencies

Evidence

Before Idriss Déby, the Senegalese president Abdoulaye Wade had declared, in a rather solitary gesture: ‘After fifty years of independence, we must review our monetary management. If we recover our monetary power, we will be able to manage ourselves better. Ghana has its own currency and manages it well; this is also the case in Mauritania and Gambia, which both finance their economies.’ — Fanny Pigeaud_ Ndongo Samba Sylla, Africa’s Last Colonial Currency, 328
