  • Senegal’s opposition leader Ousmane Sonko has been charged with plotting an insurrection and other new offences, according to the country’s public prosecutor.
    The announcement on Saturday comes weeks after Sonko, 49, was convicted on a separate charge of immoral behaviour and sentenced to two years in prison in a move that sparked deadly riots across the country.
    The new charges follow the detention of Sonko - who has been serving his sentence at home - for questioning at a police court in the Senegalese capital, Dakar, on Friday.
    Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports from Dakar, Senegal.

    Poor reporting. The issue is really very simple: Our people have finally realized that we can develop our countries on our own, the French and their African allies are trying their last effort to prevent Ousmane Sonko from being a candidate at next year’s election. At the end the will of the Senegal people will prevail and the evil Macky Sall and his cronies will face justice.
