Political Crisis in Senegal
This chapter discusses the current political crisis in Senegal, where President Mackie Saul has announced the delay of presidential elections, effectively extending his time in office beyond the end of his elected mandate. Opponents claim that this is a constitutional coup, leading to widespread protests and violent clashes. The government has responded by arresting protesters, cutting off mobile internet, banning motorbikes, and shutting down critical television stations. This crisis has brought Senegal's reputation for stability and democracy into question.
