Peace and Security Council Report No 32

Peace and Security Council Report No 32 provides analysis on political instability and electoral challenges in Senegal, Mali, and Egypt, while reviewing the elections for the African Union's Peace and Security Council and the legislative aspirations of the Pan African Parliament.

• Senegal's democratic stability is under pressure due to claims from civil society and the opposition that President Abdoulaye Wade's bid for a third term is unconstitutional, following a period of pre-election violence.
• A Tuareg rebellion in northern Mali, fueled by the return of pro-Gaddafi combatants and the spread of weapons from Libya, threatens to disrupt the presidential election planned for April 2012.
• Political tensions in Egypt have been exacerbated by a football incident in Port Said in early February 2012 that resulted in over seventy deaths, highlighting deep distrust between the de facto government of ruling generals and various Islamist and secular liberal groups.
• The African Union recently elected ten members to its Peace and Security Council, and the Pan African Parliament is exploring its potential transformation into a legislative body following its Sixth Ordinary Session.
