I am a French and Senegalese citizen. Is it REQUIRED to enter Senegal on my Senegalese passport? (I know it is easier... I am curious from a strictly legal perspective).

I could find no official Senegalese source that states that Senegalese citizens must use their passports for entry (as is the case for most countries).
The Dakar Airport states that dual nationals that don't have a Senegalese passport or ID will be treated as a foreigner.
The Citizenship laws (that allow dual citizenship) makes no explicit statement about this.
Note: a passenger who does not have Senegalese identity papers (passport or identity card) is considered as a foreign passenger even if he / she has a multi-citizenship and must therefore be in possession of a visa .

But Senegal requires visas for citizens of only a very small number of countries.– phoogCommented Feb 15, 2020 at 23:31

@phoog The point is, that it is the only semi official statement found about how they treat there own nationals when entering with a foreign passport. They don't seem to otherwise care. And that is what the OP is asking about. Commented Feb 16, 2020 at 2:33
