In Sénégal, the political climate at the highest echelons of power has reached a critical juncture. Ousmane Sonko, who now presides over the National Assembly and commands a substantial parliamentary majority, has issued a stark warning: he intends to bring down the government “as often as it takes.” Sonko vehemently criticizes President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, alleging that the Head of State has deviated from their shared “sovereignist project” to instead concentrate on establishing his own political party. The crucial questions now are: Does Ousmane Sonko truly possess the constitutional means to dissolve the government? How credible is this formidable threat? And, perhaps most importantly, what will be the response from President Faye?
