Violent demonstrations have persisted throughout Senegal, a country in West Africa, in response to President Macky Sall’s decision to postpone the nation’s presidential elections.

According to ZINGTIE, President Macky Sall arbitrarily postponed the presidential elections by many months last week.

There was a delay weeks before the polls were supposed to take place on February 25, 2023.

The president claimed that the action was required to settle a disagreement on the qualifications of presidential contenders fighting for the nation’s top position.

Violent protests had broken out in response to the development, with opponents attacking the president and charging him with undermining democracy.

A student lost their life in a battle with the police on Friday in Saint-Louis, a city in the north.

Khalifa Sall posted on social media about the student’s death in Saint-Louis.

“The hearts of all democrats bleed at this outburst of clashes provoked by the unjustified halting of the electoral process,” he said.
