Senegal Protests Leave 15 Dead and Counting

The death toll in Senegal's protests has risen to 15, including two security officers, as clashes between police and supporters of opposition leader Ousmane Sonko continue. Sonko was convicted of corrupting youth and sentenced to two years in prison, but his supporters maintain that his legal troubles are part of a government effort to derail his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election. The international community has called on Senegal's government to resolve the tensions, while rights groups have condemned the government crackdown, which has included arbitrary arrests and restrictions on social media.
