Senegalese Outrage Over Election Delay and Candidate Barring Fuels Unrest
-
Senegalese citizens feel "betrayed" by President Macky Sall's decision to delay the presidential election until December, seen as a ploy to cling to power.
-
Influential Muslim leaders have voiced outrage, protesters have taken to the streets, and 3 people have died in clashes with police.
-
The opposition accuses Sall of hypocrisy given his past condemnation of leaders extending their term limits.
-
Popular opposition leader Ousmane Sonko has been barred from running due to legal cases critics say were politically motivated.
-
More protests are planned for Tuesday as citizens demand Sall step down or allow Sonko to run, though some just want stability to get back to work.
