Domestic politics was dominated by issues related to the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, and the national dialogue culminating in a cabinet reshuffle on 29 October. The government took measures to stop the disease’s spread within national borders and to strengthen the capacity of health systems. Increased economic hardship resulting from the pandemic spurred a wave of migrants from Senegal to the Canary Islands across the hostile sea, furthering a controversy over the alleged mismanagement of migration policy. In foreign policy matters, Senegal pursued an active policy while prioritising cooperation with African states and foreign countries, and international institutions. Economically, the growth sustained over several years suddenly slowed down from 6% to 1.3% due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which put Senegal in the top ten countries most affected by unemployment globally (with 48% of the population unemployed).
