Senegal’s President Macky Sall’s recent decision to delay the election has sparked tensions in the country, as deadly protests erupted. While President Sall has agreed to leave office when his term ends on 2 April, the opposition has refused to participate in dialogue to set a new election date, casting doubts on the resolution of the crisis. The international community has condemned the postponement, fearing that it may lead to an indefinite extension of President Sall’s rule in a region marked by coups and military regimes. The lack of a new election date has only fueled suspicions of stalling tactics by the president’s critics. Despite promises of releasing opposition figures from prison, including Ousmane Sonko, doubts remain about the restoration of Senegal’s democratic reputation under President Sall’s leadership. As Senegal faces an uncertain future, the country’s political stability hangs in the balance.
