I was scheduled to go to work in Dakar on a construction project as part of the Senior Management team but was told at the last minute that the governement did not allow any foreigner over the age of 58 to work in this country. Was never able to confirm if this was in fact true - does anyone know the truth about this restriction??? Thanks
