From Abdoulaye to Macky. The Full Circle
In 2012, Macky Sall and Senegalese activists protested President Abdoulaye Wade’s bid for a third term, leading to accusations of a constitutional coup; Sall later won the election, promising democratic renewal, but recent actions, including a backtrack on a pledge not to seek a third term and the postponement of elections, have sparked further unrest, highlighting the erosion of democracy and stability in Senegal under both Wade and Sall.
