Senegal's Election Delay Sparks Nationwide Unrest

Violent protests have erupted in Senegal after the postponement of presidential elections, leading to clashes across the country and the first reported fatality. President Macky Sall's decision to delay the elections has sparked accusations of a "constitutional coup" from opposition leaders, with widespread concerns about the country's democratic reputation. The protests in Dakar and other areas have resulted in clashes with security forces, and the West African regional bloc Ecowas has called for urgent steps to restore the electoral calendar in line with the constitution.
