In Senegal, recent developments have focused on economic and political mobilization. In Mbacké, organizers held a forum to address the economic challenges of Touba, aiming to create a document for authorities to foster a more inclusive economy. Discussions highlighted high unemployment rates among youth, with figures reported as high as 62% to 63% for young women. Subsequently, political activity expanded through a tour in the Ndiago commune led by Dr. Alassane Gueye, which involved establishing local political cells and providing medical equipment and financial support to women's groups to bolster the development vision of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
