4. Four dead during protest over opposition leader‘s arrest in Senegal
On Friday, the Senegal government vowed to use “all means necessary” to return the order after police fired tear gas in clashes with supporters of opposition leader Ousmane Sonko. The interior minister later revealed that four people had died in the clash, followed after a court ruled that Sonko should be held in custody. This led to two days of protests with the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urging all sides to avoid any further escalation of the violence.
Earlier in Dakar’s working-class district of Medina, hundreds of young people fought with the riot police on the streets as smoke rose from burning tires at makeshift barricades in the capital city. Protesters chanted “Free Sonko” on the streets as the protests took place.
5. Oscar targets ambitious Chelsea return four years later from £60m move to China
Former Chelsea star Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Júnior has stated his desire to return to Stamford Bridge four years after making a £60 million ($83m) move to Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG.

Oscar has enjoyed similar success in China, but at 29 years of age, he is already eyeing an opportunity to head back to England and see his playing days in west London. Oscar said: “I think about finishing at Chelsea because I had good times before at Chelsea.”
