notes: On 3 March 2021, hundreds of supporters of the PASTEF (opposition) party demonstrated in several neighborhoods of Dakar city (Dakar Plateau, Dakar) against the arrest of their party's leader. They burned tires on roads, and clashed with the gendarmerie forces who fired tear gas to disperse them. One person was injured, and 'tens of people' were arrested. Journalists who tried to cover the demonstrations were also dispersed with tear gas. [size=hundreds]
