Sonko Warns Senegal's President Faye Against Unlimited Power

In a recent interview, National Assembly Speaker and former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko reassured Senegalese citizens that the integrity of the nation remains intact following his dismissal by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. Addressing concerns about potential divisions, Sonko emphasized that while political disagreements and differences in policy are natural, “there will be no division” within Senegal.

When questioned about whether President Faye betrayed the Pastef party, Sonko reflected, saying that “betrayal is more a matter of morality and emotion.” He expressed his preference for evaluating governance through a political lens, suggesting a strategic approach amid the current political landscape.
