Senegalese protesters clash with police over election delay

STORY: President Macky Sall announced on Saturday (February 3) the vote would be delayed to an unspecified date due to a dispute over the candidate list – a move some opposition and civil society groups have denounced as an "institutional coup."In an early sign of pushback against the postponement on the streets, around 200 protesters blocked traffic on a main thoroughfare in Dakar with a makeshift barricade of burning tyres. The crowds retreated into side streets after riot police fired tear gas and started making arrests.
