Clashes ahead of Senegal opposition leader's trial
Police in Senegal fired tear gas and stun grenades at people demonstrating in the capital, #Dakar, on the eve of a trial of an opposition leader.
Authorities have banned protests relating to Thursday's resumption of Ousmane #Sonko's court case, but the main opposition coalition says it will defy the restrictions.
Sonko is accused of defaming the tourism minister Mame Mbaye Niang with allegations of embezzlement. He denies the charges. If found guilty, Sonko would be barred from running in next year's presidential election.
