Awoke from a nap this afternoon to a few bangs. Outside people have started protesting the electricity blackouts that have affected the neighborhoods around where Abubakar lives, including Sacre Coeur where Luke used to live and where Abubakar's barber shop is. Cherno, a guy that barbs at Abubakar's shop couldn't work at all today because the electricity was out the whole day. For a month people have been experiencing random blackouts at least once a day. Blackouts are sometimes necessary to account for overload in the electric grid, but it is usually done to a schedule without favoring any particular neighborhoods. Here it is clear that something is not right. I have just collected some info from people around and from what I get in the news, but for more news check out: Xalima News and follow up on this group of rappers that is organizing against the electricity blackouts amongst other corruption experienced under the president Abdoulaye Wade: Y'en a marre. More on this laterz...
