Political Unrest Grows In Senegal One Week Before The Election



Senegal Protesters Clash With Police Ahead Of Vote -- The Telegraph

Riot police in Senegal fired tear gas and rubber bullets at stone-throwing demonstrators after prayers at a mosque in Dakar, in fresh violence a week before presidential elections.

Rescue workers took away one man who was unconscious after being hit by a rubber bullet, an AFP journalist witnessed.

It was the latest violence in days of urban clashes between police and protesters trying to defy a ban and hold demonstrations against 85-year-old President Abdoulaye Wade's plan to run for a third term in office.
