“Mr President, on Saturday, 3 February you decided to repeal the decree convening the electorate for the presidential election. On Monday, 5 February, the majority of MPs postponed the date of the election by 10 months,” said Professor Jean-Louis Corréa, a law lecturer at the Université Numérique Cheikh Hamidou Kane in Rufisque, near Dakar. “These acts constitute an extremely serious attack on the rights and freedoms of citizens and, consequently, on the political and social stability of Senegal, which has always been an example of democracy in Africa,” said Professor Mame Penda Ba, a law and political science lecturer at the Université Gaston-Berger in Saint-Louis in the north of the country.
