Reports about the state of health of Opposition politician Ousmane Sonko emerged late Thursday after his lawyer said he had regained consciousness following a brief crisis.

This comes just days after the politician’s reported lapse into a deep coma while on a hunger strike to protest the arbitrary detention of politicians in the country.

Sonko’s legal representative however stressed that the leader of the now-dissolved PASTEF party, remains in a precarious condition despite his recovery.
