Senegal’s ruling alliance is now openly fracturing after President Bassirou Diomaye Faye removed Ousmane Sonko as prime minister, only for Sonko to return days later as speaker of parliament. The dramatic political comeback has exposed deep divisions inside the movement that swept both men to power in 2024. Opposition parties are calling it an “institutional coup”, while supporters say Sonko still represents the heart of Senegal’s anti-establishment revolution. The crisis comes as Senegal faces soaring debt, IMF pressure, and growing concerns over economic stability. What began as a political partnership is now turning into a full-scale power struggle inside Dakar.
