A protest march set to take place today in Senegal's capital, Dakar, against President Macky Sall's controversial decision to delay this month's presidential election has been banned by the authorities, Senegal's privately owned Seneweb news site reported that the authorities had cited “risks of serious disruptions” to public order as the reason for the ban. The Aar Sunu Election coalition - which includes civil society, religious and professional groups - called for the protest.
But the AFP news agency quoted the co-ordinator of the coalition, Malick Diop, as saying that 'we will postpone the march because we want to remain within the law'. 'The march was banned.
