Senegal has again restricted mobile internet access amid a government crackdown on dissent following the postponement of presidential elections. Authorities cite the spread of “hateful and subversive” online messages leading to violent protests as the reason for the internet shutdown. This political turmoil represents a significant deviation from Senegal’s history as a stable democracy, causing concern among foreign investors and contributing to a nearly 100 bps increase in the yield on Senegal’s 2033 debt, which rose to 9.25%.
