Senegals President Bassirou Diomaye Faye signs a law doubling penalties for homosexuality, aligning with a growing trend across Africa where over thirty of fifty-four nations ban same-sex acts. The new law, which also increases fines and criminalizes LGBTQ advocacy, was passed with almost full parliamentary support and follows a pattern of increasing hostility towards the LGBTQ community, as seen in recent rallies and arrests.
