Senegal's Political Crisis: Elections Postponed and Opposition Showdown

TL;DR
Senegal's reputation as a stable democracy is at risk as protests erupt following the postponement of elections and a controversial bill to extend President Macky Sall's tenure. Critics accuse Sall of attempting a "constitutional coup" and manipulating the electoral process. The country faces a constitutional crisis, with tensions escalating and internet access restricted to quell protests. International pressure for dialogue and a swift election is mounting, but Sall's international image may minimize external influence.
