Senegal's President Fires PM Sonko, Dissolves Government

Narrative A

Sonko had it coming — openly telling the president he "made a mistake " during a National Assembly session was a direct challenge to executive authority. The so-called bromance between Faye and Sonko was always a power struggle waiting to explode, as they clashed over party control, economic policy and political influence. Faye made the right call, dissolving the entire government rather than letting that tension paralyze Senegal's leadership.
