Senegal, Middle East conflict and FIFA World Cup 2026
This week’s episode examines Senegal’s evolving political landscape as President Bassirou Diomaye Faye seeks to consolidate his mandate following the establishment of a new presidential party and the constitutional council’s rejection of reforms proposed by the parliamentary majority led by Ousmane Sonko’s Pastef. Can this strategy bridge the gap with the opposition and sway public opinion in Senegal?
