DAKAR: Angry residents of the Senegalese capital late Monday torched several government buildings including offices of the state electricity firm to protest against long power cuts, an AFP journalist saw.
Four offices of Senelec were ablaze and four company vehicles torched.
A tax office was ransacked and burnt in a Dakar suburb.
A policeman said the protestors "took everything with them, including the safe" and added: "The whole of Dakar is burning."
