DAKAR, Dec 27, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Senegalese Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko said Friday that his government would submit legislation to repeal the law granting former president Macky Sall amnesty for three years of political violence that led to dozens of deaths.

"In addition to putting compensation for victims into the budget, a draft law will be submitted to your august Assembly to repeal the March 6, 2024 amnesty so that light may be shed and responsibilities determined on whatever side they may lie," Sonko said in a policy speech before lawmakers.
