Senegal’s F24 is a platform that brings together different political groups and civil society organizations. They have asked their supporters to make noise by banging pots to show their opposition to President Macky Sall on Sunday.
At a press conference, they said they are fighting for the freedom of people called “political detainees” and for a fair presidential election that includes everyone.
They had planned to have a peaceful protest this Friday in the center of Senegal’s capital city. However, the governor of Dakar forbade the movement from holding their rally.
The authorities have recently banned some F24 demonstrations because they could cause problems with public safety.
The opposition claims that 700 people who are against the government have been taken into custody in the country since 1 June.
