In Senegal, social anger is rising as the Youth Olympic Games approach

Diaw Mbaye, a satisfied striker from Dem Dikk, reports a 90% strike rate among transport workers in Dakar. However, he criticizes police presence hindering gatherings. A three-day strike initiated by various Senegalese unions affects multiple sectors, coinciding with the upcoming Youth Olympic Games. While public participation is high, private sector involvement is low, with demands primarily focused on salary issues and housing allowances for distant workers. Unions also seek revisions to the new labor code, particularly regarding fixed-term contracts.
