Violent protests in Senegal claim 16 lives as tensions rise. Despite pleas for calm from the UN and African Union, the weekend saw a surge in violence. With an opposition leader imprisoned, rumours of an unlawful third term for the President, and elections looming in 9 months, the country teeters on the brink of chaos. Will Senegal find a way to restore stability, or is this just the beginning of a turbulent period? Guests: David Otto Director of the Geneva Centre for Africa Security and Strategic Studies Paul Melly Africa Programme Consulting Fellow at Chatham House Ousmane Aly Diallo Researcher at Amnesty International
