The Prime Minister of Senegal, Ousmane Sonko, has strongly defended the nation’s newly enacted legislation that toughens penalties for same-sex relations, speaking before the National Assembly.
During a parliamentary session, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko forcefully criticized what he described as “Western tyranny,” accusing foreign powers of attempting to impose “homosexuality on the rest of the world.” He also firmly dismissed any possibility of suspending the enforcement of the controversial law, which widens punishments for LGBTQ+ individuals in the predominantly Muslim country.
