DAKAR, July 7 - Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade has said he must "learn a lesson" from violent protests against his government, but did not specify whether this would alter his controversial plan to stand for re-election.
The message follows a blunt warning earlier this week from former colonial power and close ally France against Wade seeking to cling on to power.
