Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Dakar, Senegal Friday, against President Macky Sall's refusal to rule out standing for a third term in office. The demonstrations were organized by the "Movement of the living forces of Senegal F24" and tensions have been stoked by Sall's refusal to rule out running for a third term as president. Sonko, an opposition politician recently sentenced to a six-month suspended prison sentence for defamation and insults against the tourism minister, is the candidate many protesters pledge their support for.
