Protests Take Place In Dakar Over Oil Corruption Scandal

DAKAR, SENEGAL - JUNE 21: Demonstrators gather during a protest against President Macky Sall after a possible corruption case was discovered by a BBC investigation earlier this month, on June 21, 2019 in Dakar, Senegal. The investigation published by BBC Panorama and Africa Eye found that BP had agreed to pay Timis Corporation, run by the Romanian-Australian business tycoon Frank Timis, between $9bn (£7bn) and $12bn in royalty payments for its stake in the blocks. It alleged that Timis Corporation made a secret payment of $250,000 to a company run by the president's brother, a claim that both the President's brother, Aliou Sall and The Timis Corporation have denied.
