Senegal was once considered West Africa’s oasis of stability, but now it is a place of deadly

repression. This year, at least six people have been killed, dozens injured and scores arrested

during protests over President Abdoulaye Wade’s efforts to run for a third term in the election to

be held Sunday. Even though the Constitution sets a two-term limit for the president, Senegal’s

Constitutional Council has ruled — based on a disputed legal interpretation — that Mr. Wade is

eligible to run again. A close look at his time in office, however, suggests that granting him a third

term would be terrible for democracy. Mr. Wade was celebrated as a symbol of democracy in

March 2000, when he was elected president, ending 40 years of rule by the Socialist Party. He had

competed unsuccessfully for more than two decades, but this time the incumbent, Abdou Diouf,

failed to gain a majority in the initial voting. That led to a runoff, which Mr. Wade won.
