On September 25th, just a few hours before leaving Senegal after a 3-year mission as IMF Resident Representative in Senegal, Alex Segura was invited to a farewell dinner by the President of his host country. Little did he know that the quality time he was going to enjoy with President Abdoulaye Wade was going to have sour and perhaps lasting repercussions on him and the institution he is working for. The two suitcases with “substantial amount of money” he was given at the end of his “high-profile hang out” are at the centre of a huge controversy between Senegal and the IMF.
Dakar - Senegalese police are unravelling a Latin American drug smuggling network thought to be using the west African nation as a hub for trafficking to Europe and the United States after seizing cocaine worth over $200-million (about R1,1-billion).Police have discovered 2 454kg of cocaine and arrested three South American men since a deserted sailing ship, apparently broken down, drifted into a popular coastal resort last Wednesday with 50 sacks of the drug on board.
DAKAR, Senegal - The seaside highway, one of the Senegalese president's bold building initiatives, winds past the scruffy shop where a 62-year-old tailor and his two sons eke out a living sewing scraps of cloth into curtains. It's a beautiful highway — no doubt about it, says Barry Mamadou. "But I can't eat the road," he says, explaining why, having twice voted for President Abdoulaye Wade, he is now siding with one of 14 opposition candidates in Sunday's presidential election. The 80-year-old president's projects range from the new sea-hugging highway to a second airport and a pan-African university.
As The Gambia gears up for presidential elections in September questions are being raised about the preparations for the polls, but a clampdown on local journalists means independent scrutiny is in short supply. In an interview with IRIN, the leader of the opposition United Democratic Party (UDP), Ousainu Darboe, alleged there are problems with the way new voters are being registered. He alleged people from the Casamance region of neighbouring Senegal and from flat-broke Guinea-Bissau further south are being registered to vote. Tax breaks, the promise of smoother immigration procedures, and cash are all being used to lure people in, he said.
MBOUR, 31 May 2006 (IRIN) - In this busy fishing port south of the Senegalese capital, the talk is all about the lack of fish and cash and the fortunes waiting to be made in the murky waters of illegal migration. Mbour, a bustling smelly town 80 kilometres south of Dakar, lies a bare 1,500 kilometres – just a few days’ boat-ride away - from Spain’s Canary Islands, believed to be the Atlantic ocean gateway to a life of plenty in Europe, for those who make it across the seas.The long wooden boats painted in bright blues and yellows and reds that ferry growing numbers of would-be migrants from Senegal’s beaches to the high seas, are called “Mbeukk-mi”, or wave-crashers in Woloff, and are crafted here and elsewhere along the Senegalese shoreline.
A small, troubled high school in East Harlem seemed an unlikely place to find students for a nationwide robot-building contest, but when a neighborhood after-school program started a team last winter, 19 students signed up. One was Amadou Ly, a senior who had been fending for himself since he was 14. The project had only one computer and no real work space. Engineering advice came from an elevator mechanic and a machinist's son without a college degree. But in an upset that astonished its sponsors, the rookie team from East Harlem won the regional competition last month, beating rivals from elite schools like Stuyvesant in Manhattan and the Bronx High School of Science for a chance to compete in the national robotics finals in Atlanta that begins tomorrow.
