In Senegal, the opponent Ousmane Sonko, after being released in the “disturbing public order” case, was placed under judicial supervision in the alleged rape case.
A decision that will not, however, ease the tensions that have reigned in the country since his arrest on Wednesday March 3.
Between the riots of the past week, and the call to demonstrate by the Movement for the Defense of Democracy (M2D), the country, known to be an island of stability, is facing an unprecedented situation.
