Senegal Activists Demand Justice for Political Violence Victims, Oppose Macky Sall's UN Bid

Saturday, 11 April 2026 · 1 min read

Demonstrators took to the streets in Dakar and Ziguinchor on Saturday, calling for accountability for the 65 people killed during political unrest in Senegal between 2021 and 2024, with Amnesty International noting that no perpetrators have yet faced trial despite promises from the current government. Protesters also vocally rejected former President Macky Sall's candidacy for UN Secretary-General, arguing that his alleged responsibility for the violence disqualifies him from leading the world body. Activists say they will keep up pressure both domestically and internationally, including by pursuing complaints already filed with the International Criminal Court in 2023.
