"Senegal in Turmoil: Opposition Unity Against Election Postponement"
A diverse crowd, including people of various ages, responded to the call of certain opposition candidates by taking to the streets last Sunday. A prominent opposition figure, former Prime Minister Aminata Toure, was arrested at one protest and expressed her experience on X. Toure, who was once part of Sall's government, transitioned to the opposition, becoming a vocal critic. Condemning Sall's decision to postpone the election, she labeled it as an "unprecedented democratic regression" and urged people to mobilize in defense of their rights. The police used tear gas to disperse opposition supporters in Dakar, marking the initial clashes after Sall's announcement, as reported by AFP news agency.
