December 25, 2007 documentary – Price Hikes and Social Unrest in Senegal
While Senegal has long been held up as a model of social stability – achieving a peaceful political transition in 2000 – that much-admired stability is threatened by price hikes today. This year, Senegal’s vaunted social instability was dramatically tested by intense criticism of the government and a massive riot at the end of November. Join us today, as FSRN’s Ndiaga Seck examines the effects of high oil prices on the damaged economic and social fabric of the West African nation of Senegal.
