Ousmane Sonko, Senegalese opponent and declared candidate for the 2024 presidential election, began his return trip to Dakar on Friday, May 26. A long convoy of cars left his home in Ziguinchor, an AFP correspondent said.
Images broadcast live on social networks then showed the procession progressing a few dozen kilometers away, on the side of Goudomp. This is a new act of defiance against the government, a few days after his refusal to appear before a court to be tried for rape.
