A demonstrators throws rocks at riot policemen during protests against the arrest of opposition leader and former presidential candidate Ousmane Sonko, Senegal, Monday, March 8, 2021. Senegalese authorities have freed opposition leader Ousmane Sonko while he awaits trial on charges of rape and making death threats. The case already has sparked deadly protests threatening to erode Senegal's reputation as one of West Africa’s most stable democracies. That's because Sonko's supporters are accusing President Macky Sall of pursuing the criminal charges to derail the opposition figure's prospects in the upcoming 2024 election.
