Two Senegalese opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) have been jailed for six-month Monday for physically assaulting a female colleague in the Parliament.
After order was restored, Ndiaye fainted and was given hospital treatment — her lawyer Baboucar Cisse said she was pregnant and there were fears she could lose her baby.She has since left hospital but “remains in an extremely difficult situation,” Cisse said.
During the Second Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Parliament, that ended in December 2022, the Speaker Sidie Mohamed Tunis, condemned the assault and set up a committee to investigate the matter. Legislative elections in July led to a virtual tie, requiring President Macky Sall’s party to forge a coalition to stay in power.
