Senegal Announces 72-Hour General Strike
Senegalese trade unions, led by the Trade Union Front for the Defense of Labor, are preparing for a protest march on October 20 in Dakar, followed by a 72-hour general strike starting Wednesday, despite the government's call to suspend strikes. The protests focus on demands related to re-evaluating pension benefits, raising the mandatory retirement age from 60 to 65, granting incentives, and extending housing allowances to 100,000 CFA francs. The unionists are calling for the government to honor its commitments by addressing their demands, amid a difficult economic situation characterized by a public debt estimated at 132% of GDP in 2024 and ongoing efforts to reform public finances.
