T he streets of Dakar, the capital of Senegal, usually mix the chatter of busy traders, the aroma of grilled meat and the occasional glimpse of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. Yet recently smoke from burnt-out buses darkens the view, the stench of tear-gas stings the eyes and chatter has been replaced by the crash of rocks into riot shields, the thud of baton on flesh, and the boom of police weapons. Witnesses say security forces have used live ammunition. “We are living a nightmare,” says Alioune Tine of Afrikajom Centre, a think-tank in Dakar.
塞内加尔首府达卡（Dakar）的街道通常将繁忙的商人的chat不休，烤肉的香气和偶尔的闪闪发光大西洋的瞥见。然而最近，烧毁的公共汽车吸烟使景色变黑了，泪水的恶臭刺痛了眼睛和chat不休，被岩石撞到暴动盾牌，肉体上的警棍的轰鸣声和警察武器的繁荣所取代。目击者说，安全部队使用了活弹药。“我们正在做一场噩梦，”达喀尔智囊团Afrikajom中心的Alioune Tine说。
