Senegal: Pastef Wanted to Challenge Diomaye Faye in His Stronghold, the Sub-Prefect Puts an End to It

The membership card sale for Pastef scheduled for September 5 in Ndiaganiao was canceled by a decree from the sub-prefect of Fissel, citing threats to public order. The initial authorization had been granted less than 24 hours earlier. Similar gatherings have been blocked across the country, prompting the party to consider legal actions to defend assembly freedoms. Ndiaganiao is the hometown of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, making this cancellation particularly significant.
