Demonstrations resumed Saturday in Dakar, Senegal as protesters demanded that President Macky Sall set a date to elect his successor before his term ends on April 2.
Sall has faced uproar since he postponed the vote that was scheduled for February 25 but was overruled by a Constitutional Council.
Sall, who has been in power since 2012 has agreed to leave but has refused to announce a new date for elections date until after he talks to political and social actors on Monday.
Today’s protest saw hundreds answer the call of Most of the 20 presidential candidates and a large civil society collective to protest and defy Sall’s ploy to extend his stay in power.
