“Eight months without classes is still catastrophic,” laments Serigne Fallou Guèye, a law student at Cheikh Anta Diop University (Ucad) in Dakar, who is now active in street trading. The Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (Ucad), one of the largest in West Africa with more than 90,000 students, has been closed by the authorities since the demonstrations in June following the conviction of opponent Ousmane Sonko. Students and professors are demanding “the reopening” of the university to “save the 2022-2023 academic year”. But as the presidential election on February 25 approaches, the situation seems frozen.
