Election Watch In Senegal
July 2019
|Forbes Africa
In the vibrant city of Dakar, capturing the promise and propaganda of the polls this year.
FLYING FROM BRUSSELS TO Dakar early this year, I found myself surrounded in the plane by a swarm of social workers, bureaucrats, human rights activists and press reporters. Little did I realize the importance of the elections that was going to take place on February 19 in Senegal, where the handover of power from one elected government to the next was about to take place.
The DjoloffHotel, a boutique hotel famous for its NGO clientele and an amazing jazz club, seemed like an election hub.
Each morning I was there, I had the opportunity to chat with members from various organizations such as Amnesty International, press reporters from African Union countries, and a few members of a large contingent from the EU Election Commission invited by the Senegalese government as observers.
Senegal remains one of the most stable democracies in Africa and has a long history of participating in international peacekeeping and regional mediation. Democracy and free elections are a matter of considerable pride for its citizens.

MICRO-SHIFTING AND CLOCKING OUT OF THE NINE-TO-FIVE
For years, the nine-to-five day ruled working lives. It was predictable, easy to follow and very rarely questioned. This neat and tidy arrangement, however, is starting to get a little messed up. That's because people are increasingly shaping their days around life rather than watching the clock. The shift even has a name. It is called micro-shifting. It's not for everyone, but for those who enjoy it, it works something like this. Instead of sitting through eight straight hours or work, some people break the day up and work in shorter bursts when it suits them.
