Universités en ébullition : cinq policiers blessés et un étudiant victime d'une fracture
The student strike, demanding the payment of their scholarships, has intensified in Dakar and spread to several universities across the country. This Monday at Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (UCAD) was marked by particularly violent clashes between the student association collective and law enforcement, deployed with two riot tanks. L'Observateur reports a heavy toll: five police officers, including one senior officer, were injured, while on the student side, a leader of the student association collective suffered a broken arm, in addition to several minor injuries.
The newspaper also reports that police officers intervened even on the academic campus, sparking anger among students who denounced a violation of "academic freedoms." For their part, law enforcement, quoted by the newspaper owned by the Future Media Group, countered that these freedoms only apply to the social campus.
In response to rising tensions, the Collective announced the suspension of all educational activities until further notice.
The movement has also spread to Gaston Berger University in Saint-Louis (UGB), where students are protesting the removal of more than 7,000 scholarship recipients from the payment system, as well as the prolonged non-payment of scholarships for Master's students. The clashes there have caused property damage and disrupted traffic.
The protest also affects the University of Sine-Saloum El Hadji Ibrahima Niass (USSEIN), where students have blocked roads to make their voices heard, reports L'Observateur.
Faced with the scale and radicalization of the movement, the State finally gave ground: the Directorate of Scholarships announced the start of the payment of allowances from this Tuesday.

On peut soulager les étudiants autrement (par un faible loyer, tickets resto à bas prix, participation au transport en créant des cartes de transport, etc) et pas qu'avec des bourses.
Il y'a beaucoup de subtilités à entretenir pour faire fonctionner un pays. Depuis senghor, les bourses se paient tant bien que mal.
Vous vous octroyez des caisses noires à tout va et ne voulez pas payer les bourses ?
