Sénégal : l'avenir incertain d'Ousmane Sonko
En Afrique francophone, la justice est-elle instrumentalisée contre les opposants ?
The sexual assault case behind Senegal’s unrest
Clashes erupted in Senegal after opposition figure Ousmane Sonko was sentenced to two years in prison on June 1. He was accused of raping a woman who worked in a massage parlor; the court cleared Sonko of rape but found him guilty of a separate offense, immoral behavior towards individuals younger than 21. Sonko’s supporters have reacted with violent protests in the streets and at least 15 people have died. They claim charges against Sonko are a ploy to prevent him from running in the 2024 presidential elections.
