DAKAR (Reuters) - The delayed rape trial of Senegal's opposition leader Ousmane Sonko resumed in the capital Dakar on Tuesday as his party called for "resistance" and a national shutdown.
Security forces patrolled crossroads and enforced a temporary ban on motorcycles as the city braced for another round of protests that have flared sporadically since Sonko was first detained over the case in 2021.
