African Socialist Movement (, also known as the MSA) was a
political party in
French West Africa. The MSA was formed following a meeting of the
Section française de l'Internationale ouvrière (SFIO) federations of
Cameroon,
Chad, the
Republic of the Congo,
French Sudan (now
Mali),
Gabon,
Guinea,
Niger,
Oubangui-Chari (now the
Central African Republic), and
Senegal; the meeting was held in
Conakry from January 11 to January 13, 1957. At that meeting it was decided that the African federations would break with its French parent organisation and form the MSA.
