Abstract
Desde su aparición en China en 2020, la pandemia Covid-19 se ha traspasado las fronteras físicas para paralizar todas actividades humanas. Mientras que las instituciones internacionales y los gobiernos buscan mecanismos para proteger a la población mundial, en ciertas regiones, los regímenes recurren al contexto para modificar las leyes a su favor. En países como Nigeria y Senegal, las medidas que fueron tomadas no hicieron más que agravar la tensión sociopolítica y aumentar el ritmo de la pobreza. Además, estas medidas contribuyeron a crear una atmosfera de violación de los derechos humanos, en particular de parte de las fuerzas de orden y os grupos armados como Boko Haram. Por todo ello, en este documento se analiza la situación de la Covid-19 en África, tomando como casos de estudios Senegal y Nigeria. Partiendo de una postura crítica, repensar las lecciones que no ha ofrecido la pandemia.

Departing from a critical stance, rethink the lessons that the pandemic has offered us.
