In Dakar, activities are gradually resuming after several days of demonstrations and clashes following the conviction of opponent Ousmane Sonko on 1 June 2023. Taxis in particular have found the roads but customers are slow to return, this June 6.
Economic activities remain disrupted, with many banks closed in particular. The recovery, timid, is also fragile and suspended to a possible resumption of clashes, says David Baché, RFI's special envoy in Dakar. The situation is volatile, the tension remains palpable, but daily life is slowly regaining its rights.
