In Sénégal, the ongoing political turmoil within the highest echelons of power has reached a critical juncture. Ousmane Sonko, who now presides over the National Assembly and commands a substantial parliamentary majority, has issued a stark warning, vowing to unseat the current government “as often as deemed necessary.” His strong stance stems from accusations that President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has deviated from the core sovereignist agenda, instead prioritizing the establishment of his own political party. This raises crucial questions for observers of Senegalese current affairs: Does Ousmane Sonko possess the actual leverage to dismantle the government? How credible is this significant threat? And, critically, what will be the response from the head of state, President Faye?
