A formal legal complaint has been initiated against Ousmane Sonko, Senegal’s current Prime Minister and a central figure in the Pastef party. This action follows public statements he made concerning alleged dubious financial flows within the holy city of Touba, the spiritual heart of Mouridism. A complainant has officially approached the public prosecutor’s office at the Dakar High Court, requesting a judicial review of the implications and potential criminal consequences of these declarations. This development unfolds amidst an already charged political atmosphere in Senegal, characterized by rapid institutional restructuring since the new majority assumed power in 2024.
