Sénégal’s political upheaval: who gains from the diomaye-sonko split?
Following months of intensifying friction within the top ranks of the Senegalese executive, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has officially dismissed Ousmane Sonko from his role. With the Pastef party, still under the leadership of the now-former Prime Minister, holding an overwhelming majority in the National Assembly, the head of state is compelled to adapt to this new political reality. The central inquiry now revolves around who – President Faye or Ousmane Sonko – stands to be politically fortified by this significant rupture.
