Senegalese lobby groups have called for peaceful protests across the country on Tuesday against the postponement of this month’s presidential election. | |
The Aar Sunu Election (Let’s protect our election, in Wolof language), a newly-formed political platform of about 40 groups, said the protests will start at 1500 GMT. | |
The protest organisers, who include opposition parties, have urged people to come out in large numbers despite a police ban. | |
While banning the planned march, Cherif Mouhamadou Blondin Ndiaye, the prefect of Dakar, said that the protests risked disturbing public order and hindering the free movement of people and goods. | |
Last week, three people were killed and hundreds arrested in protests against the delay of the election, condemned by the opposition as a "constitutional coup". | |
President Macky Sall controversially pushed back the 25 February vote at short notice, citing a row over the eligibility of candidates. | |
