  DHAKA (Reuters) -Bangladesh's interim government, led by Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, faces mounting discontent among citizens and discord among political parties over its plans for elections. After deadly student-led protests forced long-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee to India last year, authorities face delays over promised reforms, growing protests, and political division, despite appealing for national unity. The interim has yet to set a firm election date, after Yunus said national elections would be held sometime between December and June of next year.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the political tension in Senegal stemming from the sentencing of opposition leader Ousmane Sonko to two years in prison for "corrupting youth," a charge he denies and claims is politically motivated to prevent his participation in the 2024 presidential election. The unrest has led to violent clashes between Sonko's supporters and security forces, resulting in at least 16 deaths and numerous injuries. The situation has raised concerns about Senegal's stability, traditionally seen as a democratic stronghold in West Africa, with the government's actions, including internet shutdowns and the deployment of military vehicles, drawing criticism from human rights groups and sparking fears of further escalation as the country approaches the election.
