Revised update
With further explanation, I have a better idea of what went on last night. So it was on January 31, 2005 that a student at the University of Dakar was shot and killed by a police officer. Last night, January 31, 2012 a student at the same university was run over and killed by a police car. It is pretty upsetting and the university students are not happy.

That's sad... On a happier note, I like that you have a sheep... :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have Jensen!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the news and so far today none of the big news sites have added anything new....which I take as a no news is good news kind of thing.
It looks like you tried to contact me on Skype this AM.if you known you are gonna have a chance email me by 8:30, that is when I do attendance so I can be alerted and listen for your beep!
Itnis 2:30 AM your time, hope you are having sweet dreams. Love you...love the sheep!
I am so curious about the protesting - I assume people are angry about the current President being allowed to run for a 3rd term when that is not the law - or they changed the law to keep him in power. Can you imagine what would happen here?
ReplyDeleteWill elections be held when you are still there? I wonder if your family members vote...is it a fair and free election ...I would be intersted in what you find out...in the meantime you seem to be making good use of your time off from school. And - love the pictures.
I hope my latest point clarified some stuff! As far as if my family votes goes...I'm not sure about the adults, but I asked Mohammad about it. It's the same here, voting age is 18. When I asked him if he was planning on voting, he said no. I guess the lines are really long and it's a very long process. I'll see what else I can find out, and keep the questions coming, I'll do the best I can to answer them!
