Senegal is going through a political crisis not seen in decades after the decision in early February by President Sall and the National Assembly to postpone the presidential election. This postponement, denounced as a “constitutional coup” by the opposition, provoked demonstrations which left three people dead.

The president and National Assembly caused a wave with the now aborted project to postponement the election. The opposition suspects presidential presidential candidate Amadou Baadou, PM of the camp of Prime Minister Amadu Ba, of arranging for him to succeed him.
