A 23-year-old man died Saturday after being shot during clashes in a wave of protests against the postponement of Senegal’s presidential election, two of his relatives told AFP.

Modou Gueye took “a live round to the stomach” on Friday in the Colobane neighbourhood of the capital Dakar, said his brother Dame Gueye, 29, who was with him at the time.

His brother-in-law Mbagnick Ndiaye said he succumbed to his injuries Saturday morning, marking the second protest death after a student was killed in the northern city of Saint-Louis on Friday.
