Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>As the West African nation celebrates its Afcon victory, political instability is looming on the horizon Senegal erupted into celebration after its football team defeated Egypt and won the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon). A day later, hundreds of thousands of ecstatic fans treated the newly crowned champions to a hero\u2019s welcome in Dakar, blowing vuvuzelas, chanting slogans and dancing in the capital\u2019s streets.<\/p>\n

President Macky Sall was among those greeting the team at the airport. As joyful scenes from the celebrations filled TV screens in Senegal and across the world, it appeared as if all was well in Senegal.<\/p>\n

But for many in Senegal, the Afcon victory was nothing but a brief distraction from the serious problems that have long occupied their minds: democratic backsliding, gradual shrinking of civil liberties, and systemic corruption.<\/p>\n

Indeed, in 2020, Freedom House downgraded Senegal from \u201cfree\u201d to \u201cpartially free\u201d in its annual freedom index. The United States-based research institute said the country\u2019s status declined because \u201cthe 2019 presidential election was marred by the exclusion of two major opposition figures who had been convicted in politically fraught corruption cases\u201d.<\/p>\n

And the situation has been getting worse since then. Democratic backsliding and systemic corruption Senegal has been a flawed but stable democracy since it gained its independence from France in 1960. In a region plagued by military coups, civil wars and ethnic conflicts, it has repeatedly secured peaceful transitions of power, and has thus been considered an \u201cexception\u201d.<\/p>\n

In 2012, when incumbent President Abdoulaye Wade decided to run for a third term against the provisions of Senegal\u2019s 2001 constitution, questions were raised about the future of the country\u2019s relatively young democracy. However, the leader of the opposition Alliance for the Republic (APR) party, Macky Sall, removed Wade from office by gaining more than 65 percent of the vote in the 2012 presidential election and ensured the continuation of the Senegalese exception.<\/p>\n

Sall\u2019s democratic victory against Wade, his political godfather, led many to believe that Senegal\u2019s democratic system is finally reaching full maturity. There were hopes that Sall would use his position as president to strengthen the country\u2019s stance against power grabs and fortify the democratic system\u2019s checks and balances.<\/p>\n

However, since the 2019 presidential election, which saw him secure a second term with 58 percent of the vote, Sall has been focusing only on self-aggrandisement.<\/p>\n

In the run-up to the election, he paved the way for the imprisonment of potential presidential candidates on what many \u2013 including international institutions like Freedom House \u2013 believed to be politically motivated charges. And only a week after the start of his second term, he introduced highly controversial constitutional reforms, which included abolishing the post of prime minister and further consolidating power in the hands of the president.<\/p>\n

In March last year, protests erupted across the country in response to the arrest of opposition leader and Sall\u2019s main political rival, Ousmane Sonko, for alleged rape. Security forces fired tear gas and, in some cases, live bullets to disperse the protests and rounded up dozens of people. At least 14 people lost their lives in the violence and many others were injured. While the protests were mainly about Sonko, they were also a reaction to the widespread fears that democratic spaces in the country are shrinking under Sall\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n

And Sall all but proved these fears right a few months later. In June 2021, the National Assembly, dominated by Sall\u2019s loyalists, passed two \u201ccounterterror laws\u201d which civil society organisations and rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, warned could \u201cpunish political speech and peaceful protest as \u2018terrorist acts,\u2019 target union leaders, and dangerously expand police surveillance power\u201d.<\/p>\n

Corruption is also a growing problem under Sall\u2019s rule. Senegal has always been a neo-patrimonial state where the use of state resources for political legitimation is the norm. But under Sall\u2019s rule, especially during his second term, corruption appears to have become much more widespread and systemic than ever before.<\/p>\n

A vast majority (75 percent) of Senegalese respondents who participated in an Afro Barometer survey in January 2021, for example, said they believed corruption had increased in their country in 2020 (compared with just 44 percent in a similar survey conducted in 2017). Meanwhile, 77 percent said they believed they would face reprisal or other consequences if they reported acts of corruption to authorities.<\/p>\n

Moreover, after being stable for five years, Senegal\u2019s score in the Global Corruption Perceptions Index dropped by two points in 2021. In December 2021, meanwhile, global anti-corruption group Transparency International called for investigations into \u201csuspicious\u201d deals for two major oil blocks off the coast of Senegal.<\/p>\n

A BBC investigation had previously revealed that President Sall\u2019s brother, Aliou Sall, had received secret payments from foreign companies involved in the deals. The president and his brother denied the accusations, but Senegalese authorities continue to ignore the calls for an independent investigation into the claims.<\/p>\n
