Tensions between Senegal’s National Assembly President, Ousmane Sonko, and President Bassirou Diomaye Faye have escalated into a public standoff. During a July 12 rally in Touba to inaugurate the Pastef party headquarters, Sonko issued a stark warning: he would bring down the government led by Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Lô as many times as necessary. This declaration, widely discussed in domestic media, underscores a widening rift between the former Prime Minister and the current administration.
