Senegal’s Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko, has warned of the potential negative consequences of promoting gay rights internationally, citing the potential for anti-Western sentiment.

In a speech at the University of Dakar, Sonko called on Western countries to respect Senegalese traditions and values, stressing that there is no persecution of homosexuals in Senegal.

Defending LGBT rights is raising tensions in Senegal, Sonko said, stressing that the focus of international institutions and bilateral reports on gender issues could exacerbate the situation.

He also noted that promoting these issues could jeopardize diplomatic relations and financial partnerships with the West, stressing the importance of international cooperation based on mutual respect for cultures and values.
