"Senegal's Election Delay Sparks Political Turmoil and Protests"

Senegal's parliament has voted to delay the presidential election until December 15 after opposition lawmakers were forcefully removed from the chambers during a chaotic voting process. President Macky Sall's decision to postpone the election, initially scheduled for February 25, has sparked protests and criticism, with security forces firing tear gas at demonstrators. The move to extend Sall's tenure has led to growing political tensions and a court petition challenging the election delay. The African Union has urged the government to organize the election "as soon as possible," while analysts warn of a democratic decline in Senegal.
