Dakar - Saba:
Students at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar expelled the Israeli ambassador to Senegal, Yuval Waks, who was scheduled to participate in an academic seminar on international relations.
According to a report by Quds Press on Wednesday, the students organized a protest as soon as the ambassador entered the conference hall. They chanted slogans denouncing his presence and raised the Palestinian flag in front of him, forcing him to leave the university under pressure from the demonstrations.
This incident comes amid a wave of widespread anger in several countries around the world condemning the ongoing Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, which has resulted in the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of civilians, most of whom are women and children.
It is worth noting that Yuval Waks was appointed as a resident ambassador to Senegal earlier this year and also serves as a non-resident ambassador to Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, and Chad.
The incident occurs a week before pro-Palestinian demonstrations scheduled to take place on June 3 at Freedom Square in the capital, Dakar.
