DAKAR, Senegal — The Senegalese government said it had arrested a number of people and foiled an attempted coup just hours before thousands of anti-government demonstrators took to the streets Saturday, but opposition leaders said the accusations were aimed at undercutting the protesters.
Senegal’s president of more than a decade said the protests showed the maturity of the West African country’s democracy. President Abdoulaye Wade also said he would be willing to meet with the opposition or even hold a televised debate.
