Constitutional Council: Ousmane Diagne, the reasons for choosing a rebel

Ousmane Diagne, an incorruptible magistrate and former Minister of Justice, has been appointed president of Senegal's Constitutional Council. He was removed from the Sonko government for refusing to interfere in judicial matters for political purposes. His reputation for integrity and competence raises hopes for fair justice in a tense political context. His appointment is seen as a consecration for a man uncompromising in his convictions.
