The heartfelt plea of a people's deputy for those forgotten in darkness (Dr Samba Faye)

Nearly 8 million Senegalese live in poverty, while the government faces accusations of embezzlement and holds extraordinary parliamentary sessions. Recent electricity outages have affected both rural and urban areas, with technical explanations citing equipment failures and increased reliance on imported power. The Prime Minister acknowledged ongoing issues of poverty, unemployment, and layoffs, with over half of Senegalese considering leaving the country for work. The economic and social situation remains dire despite ongoing political debates.
