In a major development for West Africa news, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has officially dismissed Ousmane Sonko from his role as Prime Minister. The presidential decree, issued late Friday night, not only removed the head of government but also ended the functions of the entire cabinet, signaling a profound shift in African politics within Sénégal.
This executive decision follows an extended interval of political friction between the President and his former mentor. While the two were once close allies in their rise to power, months of internal disagreements led to this final rupture. As Sénégal navigates this transition, the dissolution of the government marks a pivotal moment in the nation’s current leadership trajectory.
