Protesters in Senegal opposing the postponement of presidential elections are fighting with police in the capital Dakar. The election which was due later this month was pushed to December. The opposition is accusing President Macky Sall of trying to stay in office despite reaching a two-term limit. The Justice Minister says the postponement is unconstitutional and was decided by parliament and not the president.

Opposition leaders in Senegal have condemned a decision by President Macky Sall to postpone the next election indefinitely. The government cut off the internet as clashes erupted in the capital, Dakar. Sall says a dispute between lawmakers and the judiciary over the list of candidates means the vote has to be delayed.

Senegal is in the midst of its worst political upheaval in decades after the president postponed this month's election. More than 200 opposition politicians and protesters have been arrested, and the government has shut down some internet access, amid what the decision's opponents are describing as a coup. "This is just the latest step in a string of human rights abuses," says Amnesty International researcher Ousmane Diallo, who says Sall's latest anti-democratic move is characteristic of an increasingly repressive regime. We also hear from former Prime Minister Aminata Touré, who broke from Sall's political coalition in 2022 after accusing him of anti-democratic actions. Touré, now a leading opposition figure, was arrested Sunday at a protest. And we are joined by Mamadou Diouf, professor of African studies at Columbia University, who says Sall has been trying to circumvent the Senegalese presidency's two-term limit since his 2019 reelection. Touré and Diouf describe Senegal as an outlier in West Africa for its postcolonial record of strong democratic systems. "We will do whatever we need to do to keep the foundation of our democracy solid," says Touré.

Senegal's President, Macky Sall, made a surprise announcement - indefinitely postponing elections scheduled for later this month.
He cited controversy surrounding the disqualification of some presidential candidates.
The opposition has accused Sall of trying to cling to power and protests have taken place in the capital, Dakar.
Senegal is often viewed as the continent's most stable democracy.
And a rare pillar of stability in West Africa, where its neighbours have faced coups and civil wars.
Sall says he's not going to run for a third term.
But with no new date for the presidential election, what's next for Senegal?

Senegal's Constitutional Council has ruled that parliament's postponement of the Feb. 25 presidential election to December was not in line with the constitution, council minutes showed on Thursday. Opposition presidential candidates and lawmakers had filed a number of legal challenges to last week's parliamentary bill, which also extended President Macky Sall's mandate in what critics said amounted to an "institutional coup."
