Regardless of how this insurrection began in Senegal, it is not happening for the sole sake of a man. The violent manifestations that have since broken out in the capital and in all the regions of Senegal(+)

were just bound to happen at any moment. For a long time, we have been witnessing intolerable neglect of the population from those whom we have elected naively thinkimg that they would have our best interests at heart.

We have suffered from intolerable poverty for years yes, but today we are at a point where people need to rob supermarkets to find something to currently eat.

In the midst of a pandemic, the Senegalese people have witnessed a deadly health crisis and have not been able to count on the Senegalese Government in any way, as the medical corpus itself is being denied access to vaccination,

despite the fact that they are the most exposed to COVID-19, when in the meantime the First Lady of Senegal is organizing vaccination sessions at the Presidential House.

The entire Senegalese population is now taking it to the streets to manifest against this political mind game that is taking place before our very eyes, because we are the people that will are suffering and will suffer losses.

The first one was the priceless life of a 20-year-old man killed by a real bullet fired by a policeman because yes, policemen have the right to fire real bullets to the unarmed populations out to protest with the sole purpose to obtain justice.

His name was Cheikh Coly. The second one was only 17. His name was Baye Sheikh Diop and he was not participating in any protest whatsoever and yet were coldly murdered.

The Senegalese activist, Guy Marius arius Sagna who was fighting against the increase in the price of electricity among other causes revealed the conditions in which he had been imprisoned for association of criminals totally naked as a supplementary punishment

for revealing how there was more than 150 inmates in the first room of the prison.
There is interest in adding that members of President Sall's family are cited in several cases of corruption and embezzlement of public money and so far no action has been taken against them.

On the other hand, our National Assembly is composed mostly of the ruling party . The deputies of the ruling party are passing all the president's bills against the will of the people, the opposition successfully muzzled

Presently, Youtube, almost all social networks have been blocked or have been censored making it impossible to share photos and videos.
The main television channels providing informations to the people had been cut off and the President had still not bothered to speak publicly

Worse still, it is said that the President left the country for France, but it is habitual of him to not speak to the population as he didn't bother doing so either when more than 480 Senegalese people have died off the Senegalese coasts since last October trying to reach Europe.

This time he fled, leaving behind him a country in the utmost disarray and absolute poverty; the populations robbing supermarkets in search of basic necessities; the opponents of the power imprisoned; a notion of censorship weighing heavily on news television channels and social

Networks and a heavy toll at all levels
Populations gravely injured in which we can count a 14-year-old who received a real bullet in the abdomen. Everyone here is afraid to express themselves, and I'm not hiding that I am, too.
