On This Day In 1960: Senegal withdrew from the Mali Federation.
As this took place there was a tough and contentious dispute between Mali Federation Premier Modibo Keita and Defense Minister Mamadou Dia.
The argument boiled down to whether there would be an authoritarian figure or a figurehead who holds the highest title in the land but does very little work.
Keita was Dia's boss so he exercised the ability to fire him.
Dia would strike back and have Keita.
Leopold Senghor would enter the vacancy and become the first President of Senegal.
