Sénégal : Ousmane Sonko va-t-il renverser le gouvernement?

Publié le : 16/07/2026 – 11:00

A significant political crisis is unfolding at the highest levels of the Senegalese government. Ousmane Sonko, who now holds the influential position of National Assembly president and commands a formidable parliamentary majority, has issued a stark warning: he intends to dissolve the current government “as many times as necessary.” Sonko publicly accuses President Bassirou Diomaye Faye of deviating from their original sovereignist vision, asserting that the President is instead focused on establishing his own political party. This raises critical questions: does Ousmane Sonko truly possess the power to destabilize the government, and how credible is this bold threat? Furthermore, what will be the ultimate reaction from the Head of State to this escalating tension?
