Thousands in Senegal say 'Enough' in rally for economic social change


Final Call News
(GIN)—For centuries, Senegal was called the “country of teranga” or “country of hospitality.” The mask of hospitality was lifted recently to expose the frustration of thousands of young Senegalese fed up with government corruption and what was called “wealth hoarding by the political class.”
Protestors are also demanding the release of political prisoners and reform of the criminal justice system.
“Trop c’est trop! Enough is enough! We won’t move back,” read one online tweet under the hashtag #FreeSenegal as demonstrators clashed with police, converting Dakar into a war zone, according to an observer.
“I don’t think things will be calm. People are rising up,” 24-year-old fashion worker Souleymane Diallo told Reuters. The spark for the protest was the arrest of prominent opposition leader Ousmane Sonko, in what protestors claimed was a trumped up charge. ....

OPINION: Senegal the investor-friendly beacon of democracy and stability in West Africa is in the grip of violent mass protests against the government of President Macky Sall in which at least 12 people have died.
The trigger for the nationwide unrest appears to be the arrest and subsequent release of opposition politician Ousmane Sonko, accused of both rape a charge he denies and insurrection.
Sonko, 46, a former accountant who established the Pastef party in 2014 on an anti-corruption ticket and came a distant third in the presidential race two years ago, could be a key contender in the 2024 election and enjoys strong support from Senegal’s youth. ....

Arrest of opposition leader sparks unrest in Senegal
Most of those who have taken to the streets are indeed the young people of Senegal. Observers say that many of these youths in the country are simply expressing support for the opposition as a sign of their unhappiness with the government in regards to their prospects for employment. They are also frustrated with their living standards, and apparently view Sonko as someone who relates to their struggles: 
Revolution is a very, very strong word, and Ousmane Sonko has a large following among the youth, who have been put back on the agenda, Caroline Hauptmann, from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation Office in Senegal, said. ....
