Calm has returned at Cheikh-Anta-Diop University in Senegal's capital Dakar.

The University has been the place of unrest since early December.

Students have been protesting a lack of financial aid from the government, leading to clashes with police.

On Friday, the situation deteriorated again and other institutions also saw protests. Students were reportedly throwing rocks and were met with teargas from security forces, whose help authorities requested.
