The Journalist Pape Ale Niang of Dakar Matin tweeted a shocking video capturing the moment when Senegalese police torture and brutalise arrested protesters in the town of Ngor. They were protesting over land siezure.
He comments: " In Ngor this is why the young people are fighting. They are being treated inhumanely and they are forced to resist their demands"
Some of the comments on the tweet are reproduced below:
- "What totalitarian immorality is it that some will come and tell us here that there is no dictatorship in Senegal, frankly it is very humiliating in these images of brutality against the Senegalese youth. Long live the alternative in 2024."
- "This is disproportionate (criminal and barbaric torture) use of force by agents who are responsible for law and order. It, is inadmissible! It's time for this to stop! To do this the Senegalese, including the members of the security forces must take their responsibilities before it is too late!"
- " Why are the police acting this way towards the demonstrators? This video should be shared as many times as possible. It is a criminal act. Instead of having more composure and control, they indulge in barbarism... Shame on these men!"
- " I'm afraid for Senegal how can they do this to civilians and what's saddest here those who have noble causes are the first to be arrested"
- "In Ngor we saw the police taking kids to use as human shields Israeli cooperation is making great strides"
- "The Senegalese people demand the resignation of president Macky Sall and his government. Macky Sall is creating a dictatorship in Senegal. More than 600 young people in prison. Others killed by the gendarmes, police and militias of Macky Sall. Where are human rights?"
