A coalition of Senegalese civil society groups on Thursday called for mass mobilisation against the delay to this month’s presidential poll, outlining a series of planned actions including a protest and strike.

The normally stable West African nation has plunged into its worst political upheaval in decades after lawmakers backed President Macky Sall’s decision to postpone the February 25 election until mid-December.

The collective includes some 40 citizen, religious, and professional groups, including several education unions.

The speakers at the event also mentioned a call for a general strike on an unspecified date and a walkout in the education sector from Friday.

The platform called on Muslims to attend Friday prayers wearing white and flying the national colours.

The call comes as West African foreign ministers are holding emergency talks in Nigeria’s capital Abuja to discuss the political crisis in Senegal.
