African Independence Party (in French: Parti Africain de l'Indépendance) was a communist party in French West Africa (AOF). PAI was founded in Thiès, Senegal in 1957. Later as AOF was dissolved into independent countries the local PAI sections became independent parties, often keeping the name PAI.
PAI was the first party in AOF to unequivocally demand independence from French rule.[1]
In Senegal PAI was banned on August 1, 1960.
