Answer:

-They lacked a common language of communication leading to communication breakdown/ language barrier.
-They lacked essential supplies such as food, medicine, clean water, shelter etc.
-Inadequate personnel since there were very few French administrators in Senegal.
-Lack of adequate funds to effectively administer their sphere of influence.
-Opposition from Frenchmen who felt that assimilated Africans could
become serious economic rivals.
-Traditional African rulers did not want to lose their authority to the assimilated
Africans, hence they resisted the policy.
-The African Muslims resisted any attempt to convert them to Christianity.
-The policy was expensive and it was not possible to assimilate all Africans in Senegal due to the high cost of educating the Africans.
