Tensions à l’UCAD : Le collectif des amicales décrète une journée noire le 9 avril
Tensions remain high at Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (UCAD). The student associations have strongly denounced the current situation of the students, pointing the finger at the University Social Services Center of Dakar, which they accuse of violating their fundamental rights.
At the heart of the protest is the prolonged closure of pavilions F and B. The group calls it an arbitrary decision made without justification and demands their immediate reopening. A 48-hour ultimatum has been issued to the authorities, with the threat of escalating the movement if they fail to act.
The students are also demanding compensation for the victims of the recent violence. Several of them reportedly lost essential equipment, including computers, phones, motorcycles, and academic documents.
The group also demands urgent care for the injured, some suffering from serious trauma, and denounces their abandonment since the incident.
After several weeks of silence intended to encourage dialogue, the students say they are experiencing a lack of response from the authorities. They are now demanding full payment of their outstanding scholarships and warn that any reform not discussed with their representatives will be rejected.
In this context, a 24-hour cessation of socio-educational activities has been decreed for April 9, 2026. This day of mourning is organized in homage to Abdoulaye Ba, a student who died during the events of February 9, 2026. However, the exams are maintained.
The UCAD student association collective reaffirms its commitment to defending the interests of students and calls for a general mobilization to preserve their rights and dignity.
