In Senegal this Sunday evening, June 4, internet is suspended on phones on certain time slots, announces the Ministry of Communication. Social media was already cut off.
The government justifies this decision by the dissemination of hate messages in this very tense context since Thursday and the sentencing of the opponent Ousmane Sonko to two years in prison. Sixteen people died, according to the Interior Ministry. In Dakar, an uneasy calm seems to have returned and we now know more about the results of the clashes of recent days.
