Doctors' Strike: SAMES Maintains Pressure on President Bassirou Diomaye Faye

The Autonomous Union of Doctors, Pharmacists, and Dentists of Senegal (SAMES) has decided to extend its strike for an additional 72 hours after two days of massive protests, with a participation rate of 99.64%. The union criticizes the lack of a satisfactory response from authorities and states that the government shows no real intention to address their demands. The strong mobilization and support from various union bodies reinforce their resolve to pressure President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's government.
