QuoteDAKAR: Senegal has temporarily closed its consulates abroad following attacks on diplomatic missions in Bordeaux, Milan, Paris and New York among others, the foreign affairs ministry said on Tuesday.
The closures were announced in the wake of deadly unrest that broke out after a leading opposition figure, Ousmane Sonko, was handed a two-year jail sentence last week that is likely to prevent him from running for president in elections next year.

In the Rome attack 40 protestors looted the embassy before local police stepped in. It's important to note that most ambassadors would rather do just about anything short of dying to keep the local police from stepping in to restore order.
