5 people are death since Sonko been arrested
Another day in Africa…
@Serenity You are the one being defensive, social unrest in common throughout the globe. Let me comment ” Another day in USA” everytime there’s a riot or mass shooting in the USA or “Another day in Hong Kong”. Africa has a lot of problem politically, socially, these are mainly newly democratic countries due to colonialism and show me one democratic or just modern country that did not go through civil war/revolution in it’s birth. Losing 1/3 of its working population from 1600 didn’t help, the colonist just made things worse for it’s people. There are big problems there yes but don’t be deluded in thinking this is just Africa and Africans problem.
O
@Serenity civil unrest in the USA for “African Americans” is pretty high up
@Serenity look at the attack at the congress in the U.S. lol
@Serenity
I don’t see this happening in Botswana.
Why Africa is so fu**** up?
@Serenity don’t want to specifficaly
Your grandparents, parents f*** it up so that you and your kids and grandkids can get a better life all while maintaining us through poverty and misery.
@Serenity It’s because of controlled from outside leaders.
Who are you serenity, why you adding fuel in the fire in any of your comment
@Ibrahim Aliah no I’m happy, I just like to respond is there amuly problem my friend?
We need to get rid of france 🇫🇷is behind all these. Be gone france and your puppet Macky sall. Mali 🇲🇱 senegal 🇸🇳we’re together ❤ for ever.
@thibaut douriaut
West Africa is feeding YOU dude,
Thibault go get urself an English teacher before. Please. Your miseducation is funny 😆 . Get informed not to die dumb. Why are you in our countries for centuries then? Oui je parle français aussi. Car je suis intelligente et je ne m’abaisse pas comme vous à du mépris des personnes que vous exploitez en plus depuis des siècles. Vous nagez dans cette fausse idée du loup salvateur mis en place par vos gouvernements pour vous booster votre égo. Pathétique !! If you don’t have Africa to loot you’ll not get « gilets jaunes » this time but red jacket. Feel free to use google translate for your education. And let the victims of centuries of looting protest in peace !
@thibaut douriaut quel aide tu parles le criminelle comme la france 🇫🇷
@Said Drame réparti de victime, pour pas changer 😘
@thibaut douriaut vous vivez de l’assistanat des pays africains, pourquoi ton pays s’accroche a cette fausse monnaie de cfa si vous êtes pas les vrai assistes…. apprends un peu avant de venir avec ton complexe de supériorité espèce de naze
@makandal makandal l’assistanat ? Curieux que tu parle de ça, avec le franc CFA, mais concrètement tu sais quoi de cette monnaie ? Je pense pas grand chose, t’as juste la moitié de votre trésor chez nous, mais si tu suis correctement les actu, l’eco vas remplacer se fameux franc CFA, mais quand tu vois la tronche du projet je doute réellement des aboutissant, cela permet une chose, la conversion à l’euro, qui est plus intéressant pour le marché international.
Et après on me sort des complexe de supériorité mais hahaha, une bonne réponse de faible. Commencer par créé un continent unie, ou y’a plus de guerre, avoir vos vrais savoir faire reconnue, développer des modèles de société stable, puis tkt qu’après t’aura un peut de considération, au lieu de faire ta morale de faible, a vouloir faire culpabiliser pour penser avoir un argument.
Why u don’t report two civilians are kill AL-JAZEERA?
It is sad and bad where am I talking 💬 to you, the situation is criticised. I feel so desperate, this is not Senegal 🇸🇳 that I used to see know.bab bad bad bad bad bad

free sonko
My African youth, why are you dying for someone that is going to forget about you once he get the power that he wants. When are we going to wake up and realize that we don’t have to die for someone to get power. And as history has shown us forget about us the people once they were, where they wanted to be. They have never answer our question, basic human rights, like food, clean water education and so on. We are looked down by the whole world because of our leaders selfishness. Be smart and fight every fight with ideas and non violent ways.
Africa should only care africa no other countries
If you think we do this for a person, you are totally wrong. We are fighting for our country. We want our independence from France. We feel still as slaves because of Macky Sall the dictator😡😡😡.
And how did you know that….?
Wake up
SONKO, the hope of the people!!!
Macky Sall dictator !!!
Macky Sall has never wanted to have any adversary in front of him… He is the worst president Senegal ever had. He changes the institution to his favor and whoever talks, he puts them in jail… People are all fed up and that’s the reason why they are all protesting. It’s not only Sonko’s protesters but all young people who want to have a better Senegal, who don’t want to remain France’s slaves… Macky Sall must quit so that we get a better country and may these days be his last days in the head of the country, Worst President😡😡😡😡😡
The government lies about everything they say about Sonko.. and so far they can’t show you a single proof of rape of whatever..
Macky Sall succeeded putting his other opponents in jail earlier with lies and manipulations but this time, this time .. nooo it won’t happen
Yes he is worse than Senghor. That says A LOT.
MAKCY SALL is a president who DO NOT want an Opposant so he is a DICTATOR!!!!!!!

How can you rape a girl and the obgyn medical certification says otherwise ( no penetration)? How can a man rape you 3 times at your work place in 3 differents days with two guns on his hand and you always wait for him to come back ? No scream no fight nothing!
Au Sénégal🇸🇳 nous avons perdu notre liberté de pensée. Le respect éducation culture dialogue égalité l’amour paix et joie GOD IS ONE🕊
Ma parole est plus important la loi. Parceque la loi condamne la vérité et libére le menteur. En conclusion, il n’existe aucune démocratie dans le monde? Cette Afrique là n’est pas la nôtre, celle de nos ancêtres, c’est celle que l’occident à créée, avec des dirigeants qu’il façonne, corrompus et nous impose. Il faut le respect éducation égalité l’amour paix et joie
Macky sall works for macron and the French occupation.
ya the protests are not an authorized speech by the government, is the freedom of speaking
Do Senegal want a trrc
The only crime that Sonko does is to love his population, not to steal his population, to be honest whit his population, have good ideas to take his country to the best destination, that’s why we want him in our country and for the government that is a crime.
But we the population are not going to accept that these devils of the government sacrifice our patrimony, our national hope.
Sonko we love you and we will be whit you until our last drop of blood ♥️♥️♥️

I’m originally from Ethiopia but I wish peace for all of African .peace peace peace God bless African 🇪🇹🇪🇷
Can someone explain to me what is going on in Senegal and what was the cause? Also, I heard that France has something to do with this, is that true?
Ousmane Sonko , the leader of the Senegalese opposition has been accused of rape where he was taking his massage therapy, Sonko denied the rape of course and said that was a conspiracy created you the government of Macky Sall
Macky SALL HAS TO LEAVE NOW !!!!
Go against the French in West Africa and for sure you will be silenced immediately… Lesson learnt from THOMAS SANKARA
France is the master plan of current situations in Senegal . Because of France, Africa is not developing due to their corruption and so called interest. Idiots France!
We want peace! Free Ousmane Sonko. And no unfair justice or dictator.
Wtf is going on with african leaders
We need a revolution enough is enough

We is the human rights Government are waiting for the people s of Senegal🇸🇳 s,
Macky Sall is a dictator
The youths are dying, it’s a bunch of thugs in town hired by the government and aggressively jumping people with weapons, this is inhuman we can’t spread it because Orange is own by France and they helping the government by cutting off or providing low network ,TVs are shut down… the french army is patrolling in Dakar , we do not understand why, this is none of their business but hey we are not free from the colonists yet and they don’t want that to be over, that’s why they are in every single government issues in Africa! this is evil and abusive. Since when can’t we peacefully protest? What have we done wrong? Protesting because he is unfairly killing and jailing people? Because he did not fulfill his promise as a president? Specially when our only hope is Ousmane Sonko who’s Macky opponent, a hardworking senegalese who’s only desire is fulfilled the youths. These actual politicians been nothing but corrupted. They have been ripping us off for years now we want and claim change this is his last term but everyone believe he wants to cheat the constitution for a 3rd term which is why they set Ousmane Sonko with a case of rape and wants to jail him for life as the only opponent for now. We won’t stop because we want Change Peace and Justice! This is not about Sonko Protestors this is about our democracy! Please broadcast but describe things correctly, Yesterday one of the Senegalese minister spoke out in French letting the world knows that the protestors are thugs and terrorists , the only terrorists and thugs here are Macky Sall and his supporters.
Macky Salla’s insecurity is his problem, he is a manipulator and a narcissist and a puppet of france.
Free Sonko
La France 🔥🔥
We dont accept injustice. Sonko did nothing. Macky Sall does not want Ousmane Sonko in the next election that’s why we are now ready to defend him and our democracy🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳We fight❤️
