DAKAR - Senegal's hunger striking opposition leader Ousmane Sonko was admitted to intensive care at a Dakar hospital after falling ill on Wednesday night, his party said in a statement on Thursday.
Sonko has been on a hunger strike since July 30 in protest against recent charges against him which include plotting an insurrection, as well as a two-year prison sentence he received in June relating to an alleged rape case.
