About this episode
Senegal has long had the reputation of being a bastion of democracy in Africa.
It has been a stable democracy in a region that’s often been blighted by instability.
In fact, it is the only country in mainland West Africa that has never had a military takeover.
But a recent postponement of the election by 10 months has seen Senegalese take to the streets saying they are worried their country’s reputation is at risk.
So how did Senegal get to this point and what next for the country?
Alan Kasujja has been speaking to Senegalese journalist Borso Tall and political analyst Ibrahima Kane.
