Senegal: Sonko urged his supporters to challenge the case against him
As the verdict in the case against him is anticipated, Ousmane Sonko, the head of the opposition in Senegal, has urged all of his supporters to participate in a protest.
The conflict between President Macky Sall's administration and the opposition leader, who claims that the security forces are holding him against his will, has grown more heated as a result of this circumstance.
Sanko, who finished third in the 2019 presidential election in Senegal, has already declared his intention to seek for reelection in the 2020 election.
After several days of violence between Sonko's supporters and the police forces, in which at least 12 people died, Sonko was captured by the Senegalese security forces in 2021. Many more persons also passed away. due to the problems they kept having with the authorities last year.
Out of concern for his safety, Ousman Sonko has twice declined to show up for the court hearing in which he is accused of rape.
