Why has opposition leader's trial sparked unrest in Senegal? | Inside Story
The trial and conviction of Senegal's opposition leader has sparked deadly riots in one of Africa's most stable democracies.
The government of President Macky Sall denies the prosecution of Ousmane Sonko was politically motivated. Cleared of rape charges, he was found guilty of “corrupting youth” - which he denies. His supporters say it’s to stop him running for President in 2024.
Why has the unrest been so widespread? What’s the risk of more instability?
