Current relations
Yemeni Civil War
Since the beginning of Yemeni Civil War, Senegal has participated as part of Saudi-led coalition against the Houthis, a Shia rebel group native to Yemen. Senegal has promised to deploy over 2,100 troops to Saudi Arabia.[1] However, this promise has never been resolved.[citation needed]
Iran
Although it maintains a close tie with Iran, Senegal is cautious of Iran's influence in the country. In response, Saudi Arabia has tried to counter Iranian influence in the African nation.[2]
Qatar diplomatic crisis
While not eliminating ties with Qatar, Senegal has supported Saudi Arabia by diminishing its relationship with Qatar since the diplomatic conflict between Qatar and Saudi Arabia started. Nonetheless, Senegal later re-appointed its ambassador to Qatar, hoping to reduce tensions between two Gulf Arab nations.[3]
