Breaking| Senegal opposition leader Ousmane Sonko faces 10-year prison sentence for r**e charges

Prosecutors in Senegal have called for opposition leader Ousmane Sonko (pictured)to be found guilty on r**e charges and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Sonko, a popular figure among young voters, believes the charges are a political ploy aimed at preventing him from running for the presidency next year.

The prosecution alleges that the 48-year-old politician sexually assaulted and threatened a woman who worked in a massage parlor in 2021. The trial, which lasted for 20 hours and featured testimony from Sonko's accuser and a dozen witnesses, adjourned on Wednesday.

The outcome of the trial could have significant implications for the political landscape in Senegal, where Sonko's popularity has been on the rise. The opposition leader has denied the charges against him and has accused the government of using the legal system to silence dissent.

As the trial continues to unfold, many will be watching closely to see how it affects Sonko's political ambitions and the broader democratic process in Senegal.
