In a post published in the collective blog Bondy blog , Amara Soumah [1] writes [fr]: “In February, two Senegalese self-immolated in the vicinity of the presidential palace.  Senegalese people would say that those actions are not really inspired by Tunisian Mohamed Bouazizi, because others have committed that act in Senegal before, long before the Tunisian young man.”
