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.

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.

Senegal is facing a crisis, constitutionally. Senegal’s parliament voted to delay the West African nation’s presidential election until December 15th in a chaotic voting process that took place after opposition lawmakers were forcefully removed from the chambers as they debated president Macky Sall's earlier decision to delay the crucial election.
Security forces stormed the legislative building and forcefully removed several opposition lawmakers who were trying to block the voting process on the unprecedented delay of the presidential election initially scheduled for Feb 25. The adopted bill extends Sall’s tenure — which was due to end on April 2 — until a new election.
