In Senegal, the Opposition coalition, Yewwi askan wi has set June 29 for a fresh demonstration, despite the previous one being banned and the ensuing clashes leaving three dead.

Tensions have been growing since Senegal's highest court on June 3 upheld a decision to disqualify the national list on a technicality.

On Friday, police prevented Ousmane Sonko, who came third in the last presidential election from leaving his street to demonstrate, while four other opposition figures were arrested.

Three people also died during Friday’s demonstration.

During a news conference on Monday, Sonko also called on citizens to bang pots and pans in protest on Wednesday
