[HIGHLIGHTS] Ousmane Sonko, fierce opponent of Prime Minister of Senegal

Ousmane Sonko was appointed Prime Minister of Senegal on Tuesday. He was one of the main faces of the opposition to President Macky Sall.

Sonko became a key part of the election of Bassirou Diomaye Faye as president of Senegal. In February, he was accused of rape and death threats by Adji Sarr, an employee of a beauty salon. His arrest provoked violent clashes between his supporters and the police. The West African country is under judicial supervision for its stability.
