Senegali ni igihugu gishimishije cyane gifite ubukoloni bukize, igihe kirekire, cyari kimwe mu bigo by'ubucuruzi mu mucakara mu mugabane wa Afurika, wasize ahantu hose mugihe usuye imigi itandukanye.
Ibi biragaragara cyane cyane mu wahoze ari umurwa mukuru wa Leta, Umujyi wa Saint-Louis, uherereye mu majyaruguru-mu majyaruguru y'uburengerazuba bw'igihugu, muri Delta y'uruzi rwa Senegali. Byongeye kandi, umurwa mukuru uriho Dakar, igihe kinini cya Pakari cya Paris-Dakor na Pris-Dakar, cyahagaritswe mu 2008, kubera iterabwoba ry'ibitero by'iterabwoba kandi byimurirwa by'agateganyo kumugabane wa Amerika y'Epfo.
Biracyakwiye kwizera ko inzira nkiyi yo muri Afrika izwi izakomeza mugihe cya vuba. Ariko nubwo nubwo bimeze bityo ariko umubare w'abakerarugendo basuye igihugu, mu myaka yashize, ntabwo wagabanutse gusa, ahubwo unariyongera buhoro buhoro.
Nahisemo kujya muri Senegali, ndatekereza ko itazarenga ku kubona amakuru yingirakamaro ashobora kuza mu gihe kizaza, akora urugendo rwigenga cyangwa kugura ingendo muri iki gihugu. Mbere ya byose, ntugomba kwibagirwa ko iyi ari Afrika, ibyorezo rimwe na rimwe bibaho cyangwa hari indwara utazahurira kumugabane wuburayi. Kurugero, bijyanye n'ibyorezo bya Ebola bikubiyemo igihugu cya Afurika y'Iburengerazuba mu gice cya kabiri cya 2014, imikino myinshi yakuyeho intego zabo ku byambu bya Leta, Senegali, harimo. Kubwibyo, ni mbere yo kuganira kuri enterineti Amakuru agezweho areba iki kibazo. Byongeye kandi, ku bwinjiriro bw'igihugu, urashobora gusaba icyemezo urimo gukingirwa Umuriro w'umuhondo . Byongeye kandi, urukingo rugomba gukorwa byibuze iminsi icumi mbere yurugendo rugana Senegali. Ntakintu giteye ubwoba muri uru rukingo, umutungo wubudahangarwa niyi ndwara wabitswe imyaka mirongo itatu nibindi mirongo itatu. Igiciro cyo gukingirwa mu Burusiya ni majana magana abiri na magana atatu. Ntiwibagirwe gufata icyemezo nawe, ntamuntu uzakwemera ijambo. Nta manza yo kwandura malariya itabaho inkingo, ariko zateguwe kandi zirashobora kugaragara mugihe cya vuba. Noneho, gerageza wirinde uru ruko rwudukoko, ninde utwara iyi ndwara yiyi ndwara, kuba mu bishanga byigihugu. Kugira ngo wirinde indwara zo mu mara, gerageza kunywa amazi yamacupa gusa, kandi mugihe udahari, amazi ava kuri crane agomba gutekwa inshuro nyinshi gusenya bagiteri zishoboka. Fata nawe ibiryo, gerageza ahantu heza, aho byibura amahame make yisuku yubahirizwa.
Yatakaye muri resitora ya Senegali irashobora kuba amafaranga make. Byose biterwa nurwego rwikigo. Bizajya kurya mubisanzwe mumayero atanu cyangwa icumi, nubwo hari resitora ifite ibyokurya byiza kuva kumayero. Inama, nka resitora yose kwisi, burigihe ikarezwa. Ariko kubera ko byemewe gusiga amafaranga agera kuri icumi ku ijana, noneho hano kuri euro imwe cyangwa ebyiri ntuzatangwa neza gusa, ahubwo uzavuza umukungugu. Birumvikana, kuko kuri iki gihugu, umushahara wa mirongo itanu na mirongo itanu euro ufatwa neza, kandi impuzandengo mu gihugu ni kabiri kabiri.
Igomba kwibukwa ko Afurika, na Senegali byumwihariko, iyi ni karere ko mu bihugu byinshi bibamo imiryango n'ibinyejana byinshi bimaze ibinyejana byinshi n'imigenzo y'abakoloni n'ibihugu by'Uburayi bidahindutse. Kubwibyo, birakwiye neza kandi wubaha imihango yaho, idini cyangwa indi minsi mikuru, kugirango tutemeshya amakimbirane atari ngombwa aha.
Muri rusange, ba mukerarugendo muri Senegali, abaturage baho barashyushye cyane kandi bafite urugwiro. Ariko nkuko mubindi bihugu byo mwisi, ibihe bidashimishije bifitanye isano nubujura cyangwa imyifatire mibi bishobora kuvuka. Gerageza kutaramamaza ibikubiye mumufuka wawe ahantu hahurira ahantu rusange, ugomba kwitondera no kwitondera amafaranga ninyandiko, kugirango utaba undi wahohotewe abajura. Nimugoroba cyangwa nijoro, nibyiza kutagenderaho ahantu hatamenyerewe kandi utuye, wenyine. Hanyuma uzenguruke igihugu. Gerageza ku manywa, icyaha cya Senegali nticyahagaritswe.
Ibiciro kubicuruzwa na serivisi mu gihugu ahubwo biri hasi. Kurugero, ingendo mumijyi yo mumijyi ni amayeri ijana na Afrika CFAC CFA, igera kuri cumi na bitanu euro-cent.
Na tagisi mumujyi ushobora gutwara hafi amayero abiri cyangwa atatu. Hamwe nabagenzi ba tagisi muri Senegali, urashobora gukomeza, ntutindiganye kubikora, hamwe no gukoresha kenshi, ubike igice cyingengo yimari yawe. Ubwikorezi burebure, nabwo ibiciro bihendutse. Kuva Dakar kugera kuri Saint-Louis (kilometero 250), urashobora gutembera muma euro ane ya gari ya moshi, namafaranga 6000 ya KFA (icyenda) kuri minibus. Igomba kuburira gusa ko amahugurwa akunze kugera gusa cyane, bityo rero ntibikwiye kubara kubwubujiji bwa gahunda. Kuva kuri Dakar kugera ku murwa mukuru wa Leta ituranye, Mali, Umujyi wa Bamako (ugera kuri 1.300 km) urashobora kugerwaho na gari ya moshi mirongo itatu.
Ibiryo bihendutse kugura kumasoko aboneka muburyo bukomeye. Isoko ryazanywe ku isoko riva mu midugudu yose ikikije, kandi ntabwo ari imboga n'imbuto gusa, ahubwo bigurishwa gato, ariko nanone ibintu bitandukanye, bikozwe n'abanyabukorikori baho.
Guhitamo kwinshi ni binini kandi biratandukanye. Ibi ni ubukorikori mu biti, uruhu nibindi bikoresho. Gusa ntugerageze kugura ibintu bishobora kwerekana agaciro kamateka kugirango utagira ibibazo mugucunga ubuyobozi mugihe uvuye mugihugu. Byinshi bireba ibicuruzwa kuva kumurongo winzovu, zicukura uburyo bwo gutoroka.
Guhitamo amahoteri mumijyi ya Senegali, binini cyane kandi biratandukanye. Ntutekereze ko niba hoteri iherereye mu nyubako yubatswe mugihe cyo gukora no gutera imbere mugihe cyabakoloni, noneho bizatwara bihendutse. Mubisanzwe, amahitamo akenewe cyane mubakerarugendo b'i Burayi, kubera ko bari mu turere twamateka, kandi ntabwo bihendutse. Akenshi, byubatswe neza no ku nkombe ya Atlantike inyanja ihendutse. Kubwibyo, banza umenye ibipimo byo gucumbika na serivisi zitangwa.
Iki nicyo nashakaga kukubwira kandi ahari izi nama zizafasha mugihe kizaza, kuruhuka no gutembera muri Senegali.
