"Protestors firing guns and police launching tear gas into crowds"… please check your facts!
The girl was more than 21 years old
They blocked social media so we can’t show the truth to international media
The president Macky Sall is killing his own population 😡😡😡😡😡
A fair investigation first
For this new that we trust and respect
Before you know it, this will be happening here. I have no doubt.
Senegal needs to step up its game. Thats amount of murders is just like an average, everyday Chicago cookout.
Only 9?
Why are they trying to disrupt the continent again ? AFRIKA DOES NOT NEED THIS IMAGE ANYMORE, this barbaric actions needs to stop , why can't the people come to the table and discuss what is wrongly planned and going on and fix it 😢
Sonko rekkkkk ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Free Sonko 🇸🇳💪🏿❤️
If the people are that mad to go to the street , the police are just making them more angry and will pay with their lives once the protesters arm themselves with live ammunition
This never would have happened if trump wasnt elected. You know who to vote for in 2024. #transpride
Pig soros?
America should do the same with Antifa terrorists. And BLM terrorists.
US no longer investing in Africa n Haiti they said we dontbwant their money n kind here they only add more problems whelp here u go 😂
What is really happening is that the regime in place kills the population and the opponents who dare to challenge the government and use corrupt justice to eliminate political opponents such as Mr SONKO. That's Macky Sall's regime: ruled by force and violence! This time it won't happen.
Real 100% Black skinned people don't have a Only Black Lives Matter for profit movement.
No one saw the police with a gun.
Sonko is behind this violence
This is what American needs to do to the current administration all of them are corrupt and criminal s and need to be stopped now we are no longer a country
This is actually Pedodent biden’s fraudulent administrations fault also… our world is crumbling thanks to our rigged elections. Sad.
akon will save the country
Why not peacefully protest? You're terrorizing your own country just be seen on US media #desperate 😂
Soncko❤❤❤❤
