Over the weekend, many Senegalese people marched in the streets of Dakar to express their support for and opposition against President Macky Sall. The country is experiencing a political crisis due to the postponement of the presidential election, initially scheduled for February 25th, 2024. These protests have led to violent confrontations with security forces, arrests, and disruptions in mobile internet services. Consequently, political tensions have escalated in one of Africa’s most stable democracies.

To gain further insight into the political situation in Senegal, VOA’s Paul Ndiho interviewed Dr. Momar Dieng. Dr. Dieng is a Harvard University professor and the Dean of the School of Business at The African Leadership University in Kigali, Rwanda. He has previously served as a Senior Technical and Policy Advisor in Senegal’s Ministry of Education.
