Senegal Arrests Rapper, the People Get Pissed

Posted on July 27, 2011

Young protesters seeking to oust Senegal’s aging president filled the streets outside a central courthouse in the capital, Dakar, on Tuesday, a day after the police arrested a rapper and prominent democracy activist.

A Facebook page for the country’s youth-driven protest movement, Y’en a Marre, or We’re Fed Up, had urged supporters to gather in peaceful protest in front of the court building in the capital where the rapper and democracy activist, Omar Touré, was brought after spending a night in jail.
