"Senegal's Top Court Overturns Election Delay, Raises Alarm Over Escalating Tensions"

Senegal's Constitutional Council overturned President Macky Sall's postponement of the presidential election scheduled for February 25 and its rescheduling for December, ruling the moves unconstitutional. The National Assembly's decision to reschedule the vote for December 14 was also deemed contrary to the constitution. The postponement had sparked protests and international condemnation, leading to the release of several government opponents from prison. Opposition and civil society groups have called for further demonstrations, while the fate of detained opposition figureheads remains uncertain.
