A significant political shift has occurred in Senegal, as President Bassirou Diomaye Faye officially removed Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko from his position. This decisive action follows an extended period of escalating friction within the Senegalese executive branch. The pair, who ascended to power together in April 2024 under the unifying slogan « Sonko c’est Diomaye, Diomaye c’est Sonko », now find their political partnership dissolved, transforming a once harmonious alliance into a clear division. This unexpected development marks a pivotal moment in Senegal’s current affairs, prompting widespread speculation about the future political landscape.
