No food crisis here, says Senegal’s president

Senegal’s President Abdoulaye Wade said on Monday there was neither famine nor hunger riots in the West African country, blaming a recent rally on opposition groups. ”There is no famine in Senegal. There are no hunger riots in Senegal,” Wade said while inaugurating an agricultural project in the village of Djilakh, 80km south of Dakar.
