News and current affairs

In Senegal, simmering violence accompanied recent elections in which President Abdoulaye Wade was allowed to stand for an unprecedented third term.

We cannot be sure what impact the mission had on Wade's ultimate decision to concede defeat to Sall, but knowing that the region was watching must have focused his mind.

The current president, Abdoulaye Wade, who is over 80 years old, is running for re-election on February 25.

Wade has substantial international prestige, because he led the final phase of the country's long democratic transition in 2000.

But Wade postponed legislative elections, originally scheduled for June 2006, first to February 2007, and later, by presidential decree, to June 2007.

An early strong critic of Wade, Talla Sylla, had his face beaten with a hammer.

Abdou Latif Coulibaly, the author of two books critical of Wade, received a death threat, as did Alioune Tine, the leader of a main human rights organization, Raddho.
