Senegalese security forces used tear gas to disperse a crowd in the capital Dakar on Sunday to protest against the postponement of the presidential election.
Senegal’s opposition has called for demonstrations on Sunday in Dakar as it plans to launch the election campaign on time, rejecting President Macky Sall’s announcement to postpone the presidential ballot.
Saturday’s announcement of the postponement of the election, made in light of the political crisis by the president elected in 2012 and re-elected in 2019, has caused great concern at home and abroad.
The country, known as a stabilizing factor in Africa, is sinking into the unknown after witnessing episodes of bloody unrest since 2021.
Several opposition candidates announced on Sunday that they would ignore President Sall’s decision and continue to launch their campaign.
