Sonko and the Senegalese... How did they make change despite the obstacles?.
Sonko became a member of Parliament in 2017, then filed his candidacy for the presidency, becoming the youngest presidential candidate in 2019. Some called Sonko the Che Guevara of Africa, or the Thomas Sankara of Senegal. The architect of this change is a young man who decided to confront authority at the beginning of his political path and paid the price dearly, as he was accused, convicted, and imprisoned.
