DAKAR, Feb 19 (Reuters) - University students blocked a main avenue in the Senegalese capital with boulders and burning tyres on Monday to protest at what they say is neglect by the government, days ahead of presidential elections. President Abdoulaye Wade is widely expected to win a second mandate in the former French colony, the only country in West Africa not to have experienced a coup since independence, but where discontent among the country's youth is running high. Wade, who is in his 80s, swept to power in 2000 promising jobs and investment in education.
The first Christmas I spent in the French-speaking West African country of Senegal, where 95 percent of the population is Muslim, I'd wondered whether I'd feel as festive. I needn't have worried. From the African Santa Claus that set up his grotto down the road to the Nativity crib on a former slave island, it was jingle all the way, culminating on Christmas Eve when we were deafened by fireworks from our Muslim neighbor's garden. The national motto is "one people, one goal, one faith," but the state doesn't prescribe what that faith should be — and many Senegalese see that as a license to celebrate everything.
Senegal has made headlines as a departure point for people desperate to emigrate to Europe and the United States. But for many West Africans, Senegal, and particularly its capital, Dakar, is a destination in itself. The small gravel courtyard in front of Muhammed Serif Diallo's house is full of friends watching the Chelsea-Barcelona soccer match on TV. He, like his uncle sitting in the back of the crowd, and several others there, is from Guinea. But Senegal, not Guinea, is the location of the quiet road in which these men sit and cheer. They have all moved to Senegal's capital, Dakar, in the hopes of making a better living.
