Senegalese organizations are planning to hold peaceful demonstrations on Tuesday in response to the postponement of the presidential election.
The Aar Sunu Election, a new group of about 40 organizations, said the protests will begin at 3 PM. They want to protect our election.
The people in charge of the protest, including groups that oppose the government, have asked everyone to come out in big groups even though the police said no.
Cherif Mouhamadou Blondin Ndiaye, the leader of Dakar, stopped the march because he thought it could cause trouble and make it hard for people and things to move around freely.
Three people died and many were arrested in protests last week because the election was postponed. The opposition called it a “constitutional coup”.
President Macky Sall changed the date of the vote to 25 February suddenly. He did this because there was a disagreement about who could run for president.
