Young Senegalese men stand guard in the street leading to opposition leader Ousmane Sonko's home in an effort to prevent him from being "picked up" by judicial authorities. "Let Macky Sall leave Ousmane Sonko alone if he wants Senegal to be at peace," says one of the young men standing guard. The rape trial against the Senegalese opponent, a declared presidential candidate in 2024, was postponed to May 23 after briefly opening in his absence in Dakar. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
