More protests are expected in Dakar, Senegal today as opposition leader Ousmane Sonko is due in court on libel charges. Yesterday, security forces fired tear and stun grenades to disperse his supporters and shops closed early. Sonko had been charged with libel, for accusing the tourism minister of embezzlement. He said the charges were a tactic to eliminate him from the presidential race. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney and Oliva Bizot tell us more about Ousmane Sonko.
