Notre Histoire

L’histoire de la poste sénégalaise coïncide avec celle de la conquête coloniale, pour avoir servi d’outil indispensable pendant cette période. Il n’existait pas de service postal organisé avant l’arrivée des colonisateurs. L’échange des nouvelles se faisait par des piétons ou des cavaliers et le plus souvent, ils étaient aux services des Rois et des Chefs de provinces.

Avant, la transmission de messages importants sur courtes distances se faisait à l’aide de Tambour ou de Tam-tam. Et il s’agissait d’annoncer des événements tels que les mariages, les naissances, les baptêmes, les décès, les attaques d’ennemies, les préparatifs d’une expédition militaire.

A l’époque de la conquête coloniale, un système de communication plus rapide s’imposait.

Et pour les souverains, communiquer entre eux ou avec leurs sujets éparpillés à travers le pays devenait de plus en plus nécessaire.

Des lors, ils disposaient dans leur cours d’un service épistolaire chargé des correspondances.

Des personnes, maîtrisant les langues arabes, françaises et autres langues africaines, étaient à la charge de ce service qui, de plus en plus avait l’allure d’un service postal. On peut réellement parler de courrier postal au Sénégal qu’à partir de 1626. Année qui marque le début des relations postales entre le Sénégal et la France. En 38 ans les premiers vaisseaux et bateaux de l’association des marchands de Dieppe et de Rouen auront fait le transport de courrier postal entre les deux pays.

En 1758, cette association sera remplacée par d’autres compagnies notamment, celle des Indes qui se chargera du transport du courrier postal entre l’Europe et la Côte Africaine.

En 1781, le Sénégal fut occupé par la France. Les relations entre la métropole et sa colonie s’intensifièrent.

En 1850, le service postal connût une nouvelle organisation, et en 1851, le courrier postal entre Gorée et St Louis est confié à de simple gens qui traversaient le fleuve et la mer à l’aide de pirogue.

1855 marque le début de la conquête de la colonie sénégalaise par Faidherbe, colonie qui jusqu’alors ne se composait que de rares comptoirs. Un service postal réservé à la correspondance officielle devint nécessaire. On songea ainsi à placer des lignes télégraphiques à travers tout le pays.

C’est en 1879 que le Sénégal connût une vraie organisation postale quasi identique à celle de la France.

En 1900 le service postal était au summum. Les principaux centres étaient tous reliés entre eux et au chef lieu, d’où l’existence d’un réseau télégraphique couvrant presque toute la colonie.

Les moyens de transport par voie terrestre, maritime et fluviale s’offraient au service des postes. Et dans les zones dépourvus de fleuve, de mer ou de chemins de fer, on recrutait au niveau des villages un coursier postal piéton.

Mail System for transporting documents and other small packages

The mail or post is a system for physically transporting postcards, letters, and parcels. A postal service can be private or public, though many governments place restrictions on private systems. Since the mid-19th century, national postal systems have generally been established as government monopolies, with a fee on the article prepaid. Proof of payment is often in the form of adhesive postage stamps, but postage meters are also used for bulk mailing. Modern private postal systems are typically distinguished from national postal agencies by the names "courier" or "delivery service".

Postal services in Andorra

Postal services in Andorra are unique in that they are not operated by the country itself, but by its two larger neighbouring countries, Spain and France. This is a legacy of the centuries of de facto control exercised by those two countries over Andorra. Correos of Spain and La Poste of France operate side by side. However the postal code system, introduced in July 2004, has a different format from those of either Spain or France, consisting of the letters "AD", followed by three digits.

A Digital Postmark (DPM) is a technology that applies a trusted time stamps issued by a postal operator to an electronic document, validates electronic signatures, and stores and archives all non-repudiation data needed to support a potential court challenge - it guarantees the certainty of date and time of the postmarking. This global standard was renamed the Electronic Postal Certification Mark (EPCM) in 2007 shortly after a new iteration of the technology was developed by Microsoft and Poste Italiane. The key addition to the traditional postmarking technology was integrity of the electronically postmarked item, meaning any kind of falsification and tampering will be easily and definitely detected. Additionally, content confidentiality is guaranteed since document certification is carried out without access or reading by the postal operator. The EPCM will eventually be available through the UPU to all international postal operators in the 191 member countries willing to be compliant with this standard, thus granting interoperability in certified communications between postal operators. In the United States, the US Postal Service operates a non-global standard called the Electronic Postmark, although it is soon expected to provide services utilizing the EPCM.
