notes: On 8 February 2021, dozens of supporters of the PASTEF (opposition) party leader demonstrated in front of his house in Dakar town (Dakar Plateau, Dakar) to prevent the police forces from arresting him, as he is facing a rape accusation. They erected barricades and burnt tires on roads, burnt cars, and threw stones at the police forces who fired tear gas to disperse them. Several police officers and demonstrators were reportedly injured, and at least 45 demonstrators arrested. [size=dozens]
