Sénégal: president Bassirou Diomaye Faye dismisses prime minister Ousmane Sonko

President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye has officially terminated the mandate of Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, a decision that concurrently brings an end to the roles of all ministers and secretaries of state within the government.

This significant dismissal, broadcast across national television channels, underscores an institutional shift. It follows merely hours after the former head of government addressed deputies during a current affairs session at the National Assembly.

Only minutes after his removal by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, Ousmane Sonko shared his immediate reaction on the social media platform X.
