The junta’s legitimacy was built on the concept of “security sovereignty,” promising that an independent Mali, free from foreign interference, would finally stabilize its territory. However, years later, these…

The revelation that these allegations—first aired in a September 2024 press conference—were baseless has sent shockwaves through the nation’s economic landscape. Economists and financial analysts had warned at the time that such unfounded accusations could destabilize investor confidence and erode Senegal’s financial…

While the ruling was framed in procedural terms—citing the council’s lack of jurisdiction—many legal analysts argue it reflects a subtle but significant shift in the body’s jurisprudence. The controversy centers on whether the council’s approach remains consistent with its earlier, more assertive role in shaping Senegal’s institutional landscape. Observers note a stark contrast between its recent restrictive stance and the more expansive…
