Senegal bans Charlie Hebdo.

The Senegalese government has banned the distribution of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo
Many Senegalese are Muslims who are likely to welcome the ban, correspondents say.
The country has close links with France, the former colonial power and French newspapers are widely available.
Many Senegalese have criticised President Macky Sall for attending a massive rally in Paris to show solidarity with Charlie Hebdo after 12 of its staff were killed by militant Islamist gunmen who said they were avenging an earlier depiction of Prophet Muhammad.
 many Muslim readers complained over a "small reproduction" of Charlie Hebdo's cover.
