News summary

Senegal President Macky Sall delayed the country's election indefinitely due to a dispute over the candidate list and alleged corruption, a move that has sparked widespread protests and international concern. The Senegalese National Assembly is set to vote on extending Sall's mandate until the next elections, scheduled for August 25. The delay announcement has led to violent street protests, arrests of high-profile opposition candidates, and restrictions on freedom of speech, raising concerns about the country's democratic stability. Lawmakers will vote on a constitutional amendment to extend Sall's mandate, but opposition leaders have criticized the move as an 'institutional coup,' calling for a prompt rescheduling of the election.
