   Tue, 25 June 2019

A long-running corruption scandal has hit the president’s family, providing a trigger for renewed protest action and civil disobedience by the opposition and powerful civil activist groups, while driving heightened risk of violence and acts of sabotage. President Macky Sall’s ambitious economic development agenda may stall in his second term, while participants in the oil and gas sector will face increased reputational risks, as well as potential delays to projects due to costly and lengthy arbitration proceedings and international fraud investigations.
