Senegal opposition protest draws thousands over three days.

Thousands of supporters of Senegalese opposition leader Ousmane Sonko gathered in Dakar for the first of three days of planned protests in support of the aspiring presidential candidate, who faces a libel case set to resume this week. The protests come amid growing tensions in Senegal ahead of a 2024 election that could see President Macky Sall vie for a controversial third term, which the opposition says is unconstitutional. Sonko is due in court on Thursday to resume hearings for a trial on libel charges for allegedly accusing the minister of tourism of embezzlement.
