Dakar- A state-owned news agency in Senegal has reported two more people have been killed in protests.
It brings to six the number of people killed in three weeks of violence before next week’s presidential poll.
Opposition supporters seized control of more than three blocks in the Dakar city centre outside a mosque that had been tear-gassed by the police two days earlier.
On Sunday night, Interior Minister Ousmane Ngom went on television to ask for forgiveness from Senegal’s Muslims calling the incident “a police blunder”.
