Senegal's Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko defends LGBTQ crackdown and accuses the West of imposing homosexuality
Senegal's Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko addressed the National Assembly on Friday, defending newly introduced legislation that doubles prison sentences for same-sex sexual acts from 5 to 10 years and criminalizes the financing and promotion of same-sex relationships. Sonko accused the West of wielding economic and media power to impose homosexuality globally, framing the measures as resistance to external pressure. Human rights groups have criticized the legislation as part of a broader crackdown on Senegal's LGBTQ community.
