Senegal: creation of a common front for the holding of a presidential election before April 2. A citizen collective and the political opposition to Macky Sall created acommon front this Thursday.

Earlier, the current Senegalese president reaffirmed that he would leave on April 2, appearing to reject one of the recommendations of a forum at his initiative boycotted by almost the entire opposition. The conclusions of a “national dialogue” organized Monday and Tuesday recommended that the presidential election be held on June 2, two months after the official end of his mandate.
