Macky Sall not running for third term as president

The president of Senegal, Macky Sall, has announced he will not seek a third term as president. Senegal’s constitution was changed during Sall’s first term, to ensure that no

president could serve for longer than two terms. Even though Sall’s recent tenure has been marred by unrest and the jailing of an opposition leader, his decision to step down after two terms is to be commended. Senegal is respected as a relatively peaceful and stable country within the turmoil of West Africa, where military coups and power grabs are not unknown.
