They’d be a good fit if they were to launch a London service, although they’d probably get slots at Gatwick.
I left out Air Senegal for a reason.
Although they had confirmed Dakar to STN in November 2019 with service to commence in March 2020 it obviously didn't occur because of the covid pandemic.
Air Senegal in the last few years have had several issues affecting the airline. They dropped Dakar to Lyon, Marseille, Nice and Milan concentrating on Paris CDG as their sole European gateway.
On that account I can't see Air Senegal announcing STN anytime soon. Especially when they can't even make their French regional destinations work.
Regarding Air Algérie and RAM I've already commented on that in my previous post 👍
