The Senegalese government has freed dozens of prisoners held since the outbreak of protests that have rocked the country since March 2021. Many have framed it as a sign of goodwill from the government, which is calling for a national dialogue after postponing the Presidential election initially scheduled for February. More prisoners could be released in the coming days, as our team on the ground reports.

Two people have been killed in Senegal in protests sparked by the arrest of opposition figure Ousmane Sonko, according to the country’s interior ministry.
Two “lifeless male bodies” were discovered in the southern city of Ziguinchor, where 2024 presidential hopeful Sonko is mayor, the ministry said in a statement on Monday.
The ministry called on the public to stay calm and said it was taking measures to “preserve peace and tranquillity in the country”.
Demonstrators took to the streets on Monday as Sonko was remanded in custody on charges including plotting an insurrection and criminal association with a “terrorist” body.

The trial and conviction of Senegal's opposition leader has sparked deadly riots in one of Africa's most stable democracies.
The government of President Macky Sall denies the prosecution of Ousmane Sonko was politically motivated. Cleared of rape charges, he was found guilty of “corrupting youth” - which he denies. His supporters say it’s to stop him running for President in 2024.
Why has the unrest been so widespread? What’s the risk of more instability?

Protests broke out soon after Sonko was sentenced to two years in prison for 'corrupting youth', an offence that includes having sexual relations with people under the age of 21. He was acquitted on charges of raping a woman and making death threats against her. Sonko's supporters say his legal troubles are a part of a government effort to derail his candidacy in the 2024 election. According to his legal team, the conviction will bar him from running

A national dialogue panel in Senegal proposed holding elections in early June, the first proposed new date offered since the president attempted to push elections back to the end of the year. President Macky Sall, who faces term limits at the end of his second term, said in early February he was postponing an election for 10 months, just weeks before it was set to take place on Feb. 25. But Senegal’s highest election authority, the Constitutional Council, rejected that move and ordered the government to set a new election date as soon as possible. Sall called for a two-day national dialogue earlier this week, aiming at fostering trust among the candidates and the population. Civil, political and religious leaders attended, but almost all of the candidates on the ballot refused to participate. On Tuesday, the panel proposed holding the vote on June 2. Sall has said that he will step down by April 2, which is the end of his current term, but it's unclear who will take over if elections are not held before that. Senegal has been seen as a rare stable democracy in a region rife with coups. The delay of the vote has sparked deadly protests across the country. Nwo that the Senegal dialogue panel has proposed June elections, FRANCE 24's François Picard is joined by Cheikhou Oumar sy, former Special Advisor to PM Amadou Ba.
