Senegal, opposition leaders Sonko and Faye released from prison - last minute. Sonko, the main protagonist of a bloody standoff with the Senegalese power since 2021, was disqualified from the presidential elections in January.
His camp, with his consent, nominated Faye as their candidate to replace him. Faye's candidacy is one of 19 selected for the March 24 ballot. The release from Cape Manuel prison injects a new reagent with unknown effects into Senegal's current election campaign.
