Senegal falling apart?

Frustration with Senegal's deteriorating infrastructure and public services is growing. Most recently workers at Senegalese telecoms company Sonatel shut off Internet and long distance telecoms services to protest state efforts to monitor call volumes. Bloomberg reports the rice harvest may suffer as power failures hamper irrigation, even as Senegal's rice agriculture benefitted last season from government fertilizer and other supports. A food crisis on top of the rainy season will surely result in greater discontent and suffering.
