Senegal’s President Sall Agrees to Leave But No Election Date
Weeks after abruptly postponing the country’s February 25th Presidential election, Senegalese President Macky Sall spoke to the nation Thursday night. He assured the country that April 2, 2024 will be the end of his presidency as mandated by the constitution. But Senegalese political analyst Ibrahima Kane, tells VOA’s James Butty, that while Senegalese were trying to digest the president’s speech, he failed to address the real concern of the nation – a new date for the postponed elections.
