Senegal’s tough stance on unnatural acts: Sonko warns even powerful figures

The Senegalese Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko delivered a firm address at the National Assembly this Friday during the session on current affairs, addressing the pressing issue of acts against nature.

With unwavering determination, he underscored the government’s commitment to enforcing the newly strengthened legislation targeting such acts. Sonko made it clear that the law will apply to all individuals, regardless of their status or influence, declaring that no one—not even the most powerful—will escape accountability. His message was unambiguous: the goal is the total eradication of this phenomenon in Senegal.

Sonko also took a defiant stance against external criticism, particularly from Western nations that have raised concerns over the legislation. He emphasized that Senegal will not be dictated to by any foreign power, reaffirming the country’s sovereign right to implement laws it deems necessary for its citizens’ well-being. This position aligns with the leadership style he has consistently demonstrated since assuming office.
