At what price Wade will be the candidate?

Yesterday night, 31th January 2012, the streets of Dakar were animated by thousand of people, among them youth, mothers and elders, protesting against President Abdoulaye Wade's relection bid for the third term, even though the Constitution allows two term limit . The protest began pacifically in the morning in Place de l'Obelisque, but in the early afternoon violent clashes between the protesters and police caused the death of two persons, a student and a woman , many injured and arrested people. The opposition Mouvement 23, has organized the manifestation in collaboration with other movements such as Y'en A Marre, in order to promote a non-violent campaign of national resistance. Nevertheless, the police has attacked the protesters firing tear gas and water spray and they have assaulted the crowd with the trucks. Also yesterday in Podor, in the northern region of Senegal,  two civilians were killed by paramilitary police and one policeman was lynched by the protesters last Friday 27th January as a consequence of  the candidacy Wade's validation run by Constitutional Council.  Up to now, no one statement from the President Wade on the victims, the damages and the social frustration.  The international actors are condemning the undemocratic power transition, whilst the religious marabouts incite the people to peace and forgiveness but without exuberant effects on the population. Amadou Sall the spokesman of Wade, said to BBC that the  opposition supporters should express their dissent in the forthcoming polls.Talking in these days with friends and neighbors, I understood that the probability of  Wade defeat is very low because the poll will lack of transparency and his power will influence strongly the masses vote by distributing rewards and favors.  Senegal is considered one of the most democratic country in western Africa, since the day of Independence no coup d'etat and no bloody revolts took place during political election campaign. After the socialist regime(1960-2000) of Leopold Sedar Senghor and Abdou Diouf, the constitutional law in 2001 established the consecutive presidential term to the number of two, in addition the term was changed from seven to five years. Around each street corner people comment severely the aggressiveness and intolerance showed by the paramilitary corps. Incredulity and anger resound from home to home, waiting for a declaration of surrender and a new political spirit. People do not recognize themselves in the current political  atmosphere, instead they ask  politicians to look at the non-violent fighters who shaped Senegal history with their deeds,  giving dignity and honor to the country.
