Senegal's President Macky Sall has decided not to run for a third term in 2024, ending the widespread speculation that he will seek an extension of his mandate. "The 2019 term was my second and last term," he said in a televised address.

Rumours he would try to extend his grip on power have fuelled unrest several times since 2021, with dozens killed.

If Mr. Sall decided to seek a second term, the opposition called for fresh protests which many legal experts said would be unconstitutional.

Rwanda claims to have a "excellent record of taking care of refugees" and has questioned a UK court decision that found it was illegal to transfer their asylum seekers to Rwanda.

Yvonne Makolo, a spokeswoman for the Rwandan government, told the BBC's Newsday programme that judges were mistaken when they claimed there weren't adequate assurances that Rwanda wouldn't send refugees back to their home countries, referring to it as "a very narrow aspect of this issue".

The UN refugee convention was signed by Rwanda, according to her, and "we do not in policy or practise send back to dangerous situations."
