"Senegal's Opposition Demands Swift Presidential Vote Amid Political Tensions"

TL;DR Summary
Thousands of opposition supporters in Senegal's capital, Dakar, have marched demanding swift presidential elections after the country's top court blocked President Macky Sall's attempt to postpone the election, triggering a political crisis. The court ruled that Sall could not stay in power beyond the end of his term on 2 April. Tensions have eased since the court intervened, and the authorities approved the march, which is the first rally allowed since Sall's announcement. The disputes leading to the postponement, including allegations of corruption and objections from excluded opposition figures, remain unresolved.
