New Arquus Bastion armoured personnel carriers (APCs) were seen during a military parade marking Senegal's 59th anniversary of independence on 4 April. A total of 29 Bastions took part in the event and were described by an official military commentator as being new acquisitions, bought with the support of Saudi Arabia. A previous batch of nine Bastions was separately acquired for the Senegalese Gendarmerie in 2017.
