Description
Ndeye Fatou Fall picks up her phone and logs into Facebook to follow the latest developments in the crisis rocking Senegal, triggered by President Macky Sall's postponement of the presidential election. "The arrests are starting again. They're arresting everyone. In this case, it's MP Abass Fall who's just been arrested," says the activist, better known as Falla Fleur, as she points to a page linked to the dissolved opposition party of firebrand Ousmane Sonko.
Several hundred opposition members, or over a thousand according to some rights organisations, have been arrested in Senegal since 2021 amid the power struggle between Sonko and President Sall, and all the rallies to protest the delay to the presidential poll were stifled before they even began.
