Tensions in Senegal’s political landscape have escalated sharply after Ousmane Sonko, President of the National Assembly, issued a bold warning during a major gathering in Touba on Sunday, July 12. Speaking at the inauguration of the Pastef party’s new headquarters, Sonko declared his readiness to bring down the government led by Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Lô as many times as necessary. This public stance underscores a widening rift between Sonko and President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, once close political allies.
