Journal de l’Afrique – Political demonstrations banned Saturday in Senegal

Senegalese opponent Ousmane Sonko has been nominated as a candidate for the 2024 presidential election, his party announced on Friday, shortly after banning a meeting planned for Saturday in Dakar to formalize that candidacy.

In Tunisia, two political opponents were released on Thursday evening. The first, Chaïma Issa, the first female political prisoner since President Kaïs Saïed’s coup and a member of a coalition of opponents, and the second Lazhar Akremi, a former minister.

The two are part of a group of about ten people arrested in connection with a conspiracy against state security since February last year.

Starting from scratch and with dreams in their heads, they take their backpacks and travel through many African countries to build an ambitious, committed and human project.

Their desire: to create products with meaning and a unique identity, a brand in their image, committed and authentic. PANAFRICA was born. One of its co-founders was our guest.
