The latest political developments in Senegal have set the stage for a significant power struggle at the highest levels of government. Following months of escalating tensions, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has made the decisive move to dismiss Ousmane Sonko from his role as Prime Minister. With the Pastef party, led by the former Prime Minister, holding an overwhelming majority in the National Assembly, the President now faces the challenge of navigating a complex political landscape. The critical question remains: who will emerge stronger from this unexpected political rupture—Diomaye or Sonko?
