Economic Crisis in Dakar

This NPR article and radio report is about the economic crisis in Africa, particularly in Dakar. Although I completely disagree with the author's stance that many Senegalese people don't understand the complexities of Wall Street and financial turmoil, it is well done.

Since my arrival, I have noticed a change in the market and the increase in prices. People are getting poorer and fed up. I am convinced that the economic crisis will be worse in Dakar and in parts of Africa, than in some wealthier countries. I see it beginning already.
