VOS RÉACTIONS – Sénégal : la rupture Faye – Sonko était-elle inévitable?
The political landscape in Senegal has been dramatically reshaped following President Bassirou Diomaye Faye‘s decision to dismiss Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. This pivotal move comes after a period of escalating tensions within the executive branch in Dakar, marking a significant departure from the powerful alliance that swept them into office in April 2024. Their joint ascent was famously underscored by the popular slogan, “Sonko c’est Diomaye, Diomaye c’est Sonko,” a declaration of unwavering unity that now stands in stark contrast to their current political separation. This abrupt political divorce has ignited widespread discussion across West Africa regarding the future direction of Senegal politics and the potential scenarios unfolding in the coming months. The breakdown of this once-unbreakable duo signals a new, uncertain phase for the nation’s governance.
