Default Senegal : Elections Postponed, Civil War

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-68209178


Ch4HDnews
showed a report from there.
The Army was brought directly into
the Parliament

to remove all Politicians against the
Postponed Election.


The leader who said he would stand down
now is having his Election in December


[Inside, lawmakers passed a
contentious bill to extend
President Macky Sall's tenure and delay elections
after he called off a planned election
with just three weeks to go.
The opposition say some of their members
were forcibly removed from the parliament
building by police in riot gear to stop
them from voting.
Khalifa Sall, a leading opponent and
a former mayor of Dakar,
who is not related to the president,
called the delay a "constitutional coup"
and urged people to protest against it.
His political coalition has
vowed to go to court.
Thierno Alassane Sall, another candidate,
also no relation, called it "high treason"
and urged his supporters to gather
in front of the National Assembly
to protest and "remind MPs to stand
on the right side of history".]

Location



[Senegal,
République du Sénégal
(A Former French Nation)
officially the Republic of Senegal,
is a country in West Africa,
on the Atlantic Ocean coastline.
Senegal is bordered by Mauritania
to the north, Mali to the east,
Guinea to the southeast and
Guinea-Bissau to
the southwest.
Senegal nearly surrounds The Gambia,
a country occupying a narrow sliver
of land along the banks of the Gambia River,
which separates Senegal's southern region of
Casamance from the rest of the country.
Senegal also shares a maritime border
with Cape Verde.
Senegal's economic and political
capital is Dakar.]
