The government of Senegal announced on Tuesday that a student had died as a result of altercations between students and police at a university in the west African nation over unpaid stipends.

According to a statement, the disturbance started on Monday at the Sheikh Anta Diop University in the city, Dakar.

The government spokeswoman claimed in the statement that Abdoulaye Ba, a second-year medical student, died as a result.
