Senegal is experiencing heightened political tension after lawmakers voted to delay elections and extend President Sall’s term, leading to security force interventions and mobile internet shutdowns in Dakar. The rescheduled elections for December 15, from the original February 25 date, extend Sall’s term beyond its April 2 conclusion, prompting concerns of a constitutional crisis in one of Africa’s most stable democracies. The IMF is closely monitoring these developments with concern.
