Most recent news on this is that the French colonial authorities have declared martial law.

Edit: It is very difficult to get information about exactly what is happening on the ground but apparently various social media and instant messengers have been blocked, Tiktok banned, and the access of journalists completely restricted. If true it means the situation is getting serious. France seems desperate to prevent images and videos coming out. Protests have not subsided and there are clashes with the police and military.
