Senegalese opposition leader Ousmane Sonko has called for “much larger” but peaceful anti-government protests after authorities freed him on bail from custody following days of violent demonstrations.
His comments at a news conference on Monday in the capital, Dakar, came hours after he was officially charged with rape but released from detention.
Blaming his arrest last week on President Macky Sall, Sonko accused the incumbent leader of seeking to sideline his future political prospects before the country’s 2024 election. While Sonko publicly accused the president of plunging Senegal into an unprecedented crisis, the opposition leader said his goal was not to force Sall from power.
