PART-TWO: What happened in Ngor last week, a small fishing village on the coast of Dakar, Senegal? What do we know about the death of Adji Diallo, a 15-year-old inhabitant of the village? Is the Senegalese justice system being weaponized against Ousmane Sonko and the opposition to invalidate his presidential bid? How can the legal saga against Sonko impact the 2024 presidential election in Senegal? Will President Macky Sall, run for a third candidacy? In this conversation, Chevening Scholar and freelance journalist, Borso Tall takes us into weeks of covering protest movements in Senegal and talking with protesters and victims' families. We also discuss the imbalance of the Senegalese judiciary and how it may impact the upcoming presidential election in 2024. Music (Diougou fi and Badola XXXL) by Keur Gui Crew
