"Senegal's President Macky Sall Postpones Elections, Sparking Controversy"

Senegal's President Macky Sall postponed the presidential elections, originally scheduled for February 25, due to a dispute over the list of approved candidates, sparking protests and opposition challenges. Critics speculate that Sall's move aims to prolong his party's hold on power, as popular candidates were disqualified, including Ousmane Sonko, a significant challenger. International concern has been expressed, with the US and African Union questioning the delay's impact on Senegal's democratic tradition. Sall's proposed reforms to the electoral system and Constitutional Council have raised uncertainty, as the country awaits further developments amidst ongoing tensions.
