Senegalese opposition leader Ousmane Sonko has announced that he is resuming his Hunger Strike, which he had previously paused in September. Sonko, who is a candidate for the 2024 presidential election, accuses President Macky Sall of trying to exclude him from the ballot through legal procedures. He also expressed solidarity with other activists who have been unjustly arrested for expressing their political opinions. A magistrate recently ordered Sonko's reinstatement on the electoral lists, potentially allowing him to compete in the election, but his candidacy is still uncertain due to prior convictions.
