Senegal's Opposition Leader Cleared to Run for President After Court Ruling

Senegal's opposition leader, Ousmane Sonko, has been ordered to be reinstated on the electoral list, potentially allowing him to run for president in the upcoming February election. The court's decision overturned a previous ruling that had barred Sonko's bid. The state has 10 days to appeal, but it is unclear if they will do so. Sonko's supporters believe the criminal allegations against him are part of a campaign to derail his political aspirations.
