Senegal's highest court ruled Friday evening that the country's increasingly frail, 85-year-old president could run for a third term in next month's election, a deep blow to the country's opposition which has vowed to take to the streets if the aging leader does not step aside. The banner written with a new slogan on it reads: 'False! Step forced.' (AP Photo)
