Major executive shake-up in Senegal
In a significant political move for Sénégal, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has officially terminated the mandate of his prime minister, Ousmane Sonko. The decision, which was formalized via a presidential decree on Friday evening, also resulted in the collective dismissal of the entire government cabinet.

This high-level reshuffle follows a period of escalating friction between the two leaders. While Ousmane Sonko was widely regarded as the political mentor of Bassirou Diomaye Faye, internal tensions within the executive branch had been mounting for several months. The dissolution of the government marks a definitive break in their administrative alliance as the nation watches the next steps for Senegal politics.
