Senegal: accusations of corruption, candidates dismissed… Five minutes to understand the postponement of the presidential election. On Saturday, Senegalese President Macky Sall decided to postpone the presidential vote indefinitely.
An unprecedented decision, says expert Caroline Roussy. A choice which plunges the country, considered an island of stability in Africa, into a new political crisis, after episodes of unrest in 2021 and 2023.. Many opponents are calling for the presidential campaign to continue, and therefore to override Macki Sall's decree.
