dc.description.abstract
Since 2011 youth movements have staged large protests in African countries for
presidential term limits. These have been discussed as struggles against de-
democratization. Looking at the movements Y'en a marre in Senegal and Balai
citoyen in Burkina Faso we argue that these protests were just as much
triggered by socio-economic grievances linked to a corrupt patronage system.
Indeed, corruption has been a major issue for both campaigns. We ask how the
movement leaders linked the fight against corruption with their struggle
against third term amendments in a way that sparked mass mobilization. We use
the framing approach as our theoretical framework and show that a framing
based on the concept of citizenship enabled both movements to link the issue
of corruption to the issue of presidential term amendments and at the same
time create a sense of agency in the constituency. This explains at least
partly why both Y'en a marre and Balai Citoyen succeeded in their mobilizing
efforts.
