塞内加尔民众抗议反对总统阿卜杜拉耶·瓦德参加下周第三任期的选举,警察和民众冲突不断。Thomas Fessy在首都达喀尔报道。
The security forces have engaged in street running battles, firing tear gas and rubber bullets at scores of youth[s] who have mounted barricades, setting ablaze tyres and throwing stones back at the police. This is happening right in the centre of the capital, just a few blocks away from the main square of the city's business centre, where the protesters were hoping to hold a rally. Just about a week ahead of the election, they say they will continue to protest until the incumbent President Abdoulaye Wade withdraw[s] his candidacy for a third term. Thomas Fessy reporting
安全部队开始了巷战,他们使用催泪瓦斯和橡皮弹,打击数十名越过路障的青年,这些青年人点燃轮胎,并向警察投掷石块反击。这次冲突就发生在首都的中心,几个街区外是该市的商业中心主大街,抗议者本计划在这里举行集会。现在距大选还有一周时间,抗议者称将继续对抗下去,直到现任总统阿卜杜拉耶·瓦德放弃竞选第三个任期为止。
