Senegal experienced its most intense day of demonstrations on Friday since the postponement of the presidential election by the National Assembly on February 5. In the Cité des Eaux district of Dakar, the construction site of a flyover was targeted by demonstrators.
Site teams inspected the damage and discovered several charred backhoe loaders. “They poured out their anger on everything they saw,” an employee of the company that owns the concrete mixer said. ‘We hunt a president with voter cards, not stones, not eight months of postponement, what is that?'
