Senegalese President Macky Sall does not lift the veil on the date of the presidential election. The postponement caused one of the most serious political crises his country has faced in decades.

President Sall said he was “ready” to release Ousmane Sonko before the presidential vote. Several hundred people last weekend mobilized several thousand for a new Saturday rally in Dakar to maintain pressure on those in power, just like the presidential camp to maintain support for Sall.
