  1. Maki is a criminal!!! we Gambians demand his extradition to face criminal charges regarding the incossion in southern Gambia resulting in the deaths of meny in the community in that region.. he most go..

  2. Macky Sall postponed the elections because he needed more time he and his cronies to move their assets remember Senegal 🇸🇳 has Oil 🛢 Diamonds 💎 Gold and also natural Gas and they are afraid that if they lose the elections they all will be going to prison for embezzling public funds

  3. Human race has progressed under monarchs , theocrats , autocrats or even dictators ..much longer ..before democracy was introduced less than 100 years ago ..

  4. This is the exact reason why the military strikes. Civilian government in west Africa and Africa have for many decades carried out coups against the democratic principles of government in Africa. Ecowas has failed the people and this dictatorship is getting worse

  5. There is no democracy in Senegal. The president of Senegal is a puppet of France and of the rest of the West.
    France must be kicked out of Senegal. All corruption and exploitation of Senegal's raw mineral resources must end at once. Senegal needs a new president who cares about the people of Senegal, and who has a heart for Senegal and for African Unity. AFRICA UNITE NOW AND be FREE.
