The Senegalese government announced Monday that it would support former president Macky Sall’s candidacy to replace UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres when his term expires, France 24 reported. The government had previously declined to back Sall, whom it accuses of deadly political repression while in office.
It reversed course after Sall paid the sitting president a visit in Dakar this weekend.
France 24 reported the announcement as a direct reversal of the earlier stance.
