Description
Senegalese react to the state's restriction of social networks following violent protests by supporters of opposition figure Ousmane Sonko, sentenced to two years in prison for "corruption of youth". "It's unfair to restrict the use of social networks for purely political reasons. A lot of people aren't working because of this government decision", says Mame Mor, a Senegalese citizen.
On Thursday, the Minister of the Interior announced the restriction of certain social networks due to "the dissemination of hateful and subversive messages". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
