Macky Sall, the president of Senegal

DAKAR-Macky Sall, who is wrapping up two terms in office, postponed the presidential election for 10 months, citing unresolved disputes over who could run. But his move was struck down by the Constitutional Court as illegal.

He spoke Thursday (Feb.22) on live television.

"Having been sworn in on 2 April 2019, 2 April 2024 completes the five-year calendar, so that's the end of the Mandate. And I intend to stop at this mandate. After April 2, I intend to step down as President of the Republic."

Sall's clarifications come after the ruling coalition voted to extend his rule in early February.

Well naturally..this board is littered with all sorts of agents against Black progress, self determination and independence..

Frankly, Africans have no economic or other interests at all in France..we want nothing from them and fail to understand why this relationship must continue..

If the West can sanction 20% of Africa, then we must respond in kind and equally sanction them back..sick of playing around with these worhtless but domineering demons.
