(32 minutes later) | |
A protest march set to take place today in Senegal's capital, Dakar, against President Macky Sall's controversial decision to delay this month's presidential election has been banned by the authorities, | |
Senegal's privately owned Seneweb news site reported that the authorities had cited “risks of serious disruptions” to public order as the reason for the ban. | |
The Aar Sunu Election ("Let's Protect Our Election") coalition - which includes civil society, religious and professional groups - called for the protest. | |
It has not yet made an official announcement on whether or not the demonstration will go ahead. | |
But the AFP news agency quoted the co-ordinator of the coalition, Malick Diop, as saying that "we will postpone the march because we want to remain within the law". | |
"The march was banned. There's a problem with the route. So we will change this," he added. | |
Meanwhile, the communication ministry has announced new internet restrictions to prevent the spread of "hateful messages". | |
Senegal has been plunged into turmoil since Mr Sall announced on 3 February that elections would be delayed because of a dispute over the eligibility of candidates. | |
The opposition accused the two-term president of a "constitutional coup", and trying to cling to power. | |
He has denied the allegation, saying he will not run for a third term. | |
The election was due to take place on 25 February, but has been pushed back until December. | |
