Senegalese Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko has unequivocally dismissed any attempts to challenge the nation’s recently enacted legislation, which imposes stricter penalties for homosexual relations.
During an address to parliamentarians on Friday, Senegalese Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko sharply criticized what he termed “Western tyranny,” alleging an agenda to “impose homosexuality on the rest of the world.” He firmly rejected any notion of a moratorium on the application of the new law, which significantly toughens sentences for same-sex acts within the predominantly Muslim West African nation.
