FI#FPReels: Police in Senegal's capital, Dakar, clashed with protesters over the weekend after the country indefinitely postponed its presidential election. Following the announcement, over 200 protesters reportedly blocked traffic on a main road in Dakar with a makeshift barricade of burning tyres. The crowds were dispersed after riot police fired tear gas and made arrests. Senegalese President Macky Sall announced the election delay on Saturday, citing a dispute over the candidate list. Last month, Senegal's Constitutional Council excluded some prominent opposition members from the list of candidates.
