Dakar Plateau: affrontements entre agents municipaux et transporteurs, onze interpellations
Violent clashes broke out on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, between Dakar Plateau municipal employees and transport workers parked on Rue du Liban. The altercation, which left several people injured on both sides, resulted in the arrest of eleven individuals, including a municipal employee, according to Seneweb sources.
According to reports, the Rebeuss district police station was alerted to clashes taking place on Rue du Liban around 10:30 a.m. The dispute stemmed from a disagreement over daily parking fees, set at ten thousand (10,000) CFA francs, an amount the transport operators involved considered excessive.
Faced with the drivers' protest, municipal officers arrived in force to collect the tolls. The drivers' refusal then led to clashes between the two sides.
The intervention of police officers from the Rebeuss police station then restored calm to the scene. Reports indicate unidentified injuries on both sides, and their condition has not yet been specified.

At the end of the operation, eleven individuals were arrested, including an employee of the Dakar Plateau City Hall.

Dakar est aujourd'hui la ville la plus mal gérée :
- Aucune politique d'entretien des routes. Circuler est un vrai calvaire pour les voitures et les chauffeurs
- Aucun programme d'amélioration de l'environnement. Dakar est sale et tout le réseau d'évacuation des eaux usées est saturé
- Occupation anarchique des trottoirs. Aujourd'hui, les vendeurs ambulants font la loi devant les magasins dument établis, donc aucune personne ne peut marcher sur les trottoirs et est obligé de se rabattre sur les rues au risque de se faire accrocher par les voitures.
- Aucun respect du code de la route. Les scooters et vélos roulent en sens interdit et personne, pas même la police, ne peut les remettre sur le bon chemin
- Danger en plein centre ville. Avec le chantier de Sandaga, des familles entières souffrent alors que des drogués se sont installés au su et vu de tous les responsables à coté du centre commercial Touba Sandaga offrant un spectacle indigne d'une capitale.
Et les agents qui veulent faire du déguerpissement, ils n'osent pas avouer qu'ils sont le premiers responsables de cette anarchie..
Et dans tout ça, où est le maire ?
