Senegal in the news

C'mon Macky dont let this golden goose get away - keep the nation united and prosper you dolts!  Do the population/ political opposition in Senegal not realise that no projects = no money.  If they make Senegal another high sovereign risk African country with unstable government and violence we can be the best exploration company it the world and it wont make a difference! Would not surprise me if Saudis actively destabilise new oil nations to protect their turf.

BLIND AND REPRESSION AGAINST VIOLENT OPPOSITION Macky so close to Kabila

It was like in DRC Congo! The opponents of humiliation served as showcase to boast our democracy by the regime flock! Sad !
The regime of President Macky had to worry about. Amnesty International will decide on the blind repression of the police against the opposition. As announced intoxicated by the oil flow, the interior minister of President Macky Sall did not pull any punches. Senegalese opposition leaders did not expect this reaction worthy of authoritarian regimes. It must be stated. While all eyes were on the end of the march, with its declaration lot, here, again and again, throughout our Republic on the management of fundamental freedoms. Sad. "Both of force to suppress, but not as much force to oversee an elementary exercise in democracy" strongly affirm observers. And, all for a routing problem! A trap into which engulfed with joy the state police to humiliate opponents whose only crime was to want to remind those in power that the freedom to walk is guaranteed by the Constitution of Senegal.
A unit of the police violence is born
Never in memory has there been a targeted and violent repression in the way. All the more effervescent opponents against Macky Sall received electric déchardes or were clubbed and dragged on the ground.Similarly, Bassirou Mbacke Diatta, PDS militants Guédiawaye the outputs against Aliou Sall are innumerable, was not spared. As in a slaughterhouse. This means that the Senegalese democracy lowered his head. For shame. This form of reaction recalls the blind violence of men of President Kabila in DRC Congo.
Amnesty International will decide
Bloody repression that struck all free spirits and put AI in all its forms. This same kind of repression took hold in Senegal and it will be no surprise that the local branch of the organization of human rights to say.Shortly. Therefore, it is clear that the dialogue between the government and the opposition seems to be impossible. At least one year of laws, all signals announce a campaign without thank you, with its share of violence. The regime of Macky Sall, in its relations with its opposition still earns a considerable item.
