Senegalese opposition leader, Ousmane Sonko, has gone back on hunger strike.
Sonko ended his hunger strike after influential leaders prevailed on him as his health deteriorated in prison.

However, a few days after a district court overturned his removal from the electoral roll, Sonko posted on his social media platforms announcing his decision to continue protesting against his imprisonment.

He addressed his supporters: “I thank God and invite you today, more than ever, to more commitment, determination, and solidarity in the face of this dictatorship with less than five months left. I remind you accordingly of our constitutional right to resistance. As for us, we can only resort to the means of resistance that our current situation allows. This is why I decided to go back on a hunger strike
