Ousmane Sonko vows nothing will shake Senegal stability

Amid growing media and political agitation across the country, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko has firmly reaffirmed the strength of Senegal’s institutions and the preservation of public order. Backed by his parliamentary majority, he insists the national assembly will remain the ultimate guarantor of stability.

The message is resolute, uncompromising, and reassuring. In a direct statement to the Senegalese people, Ousmane Sonko dismissed rumors of tension and looming crises often amplified in public discourse. For the head of government, Senegal’s stability is non-negotiable and will not be undermined.

Describing current tensions as mere “storms in a teacup,” Ousmane Sonko criticized the agitation prevalent online and among parts of the press, where some predict deadlock in the national assembly or risks of unrest. “Nothing will move in this country, nothing, absolutely nothing,” he insisted emphatically.

To reinforce his stance, the President of the National Assembly recalled the political legitimacy underpinning his actions: a majority political formation, broad popularity, and massive support from Senegalese youth. This bloc, he argues, is the natural bulwark against any destabilization attempt.

Beyond security rhetoric, the President of the National Assembly underscored the country’s democratic foundations and the state’s impartiality. He reminded that all official and judicial decisions “will apply to everyone” without exception, thus excluding any form of abuse of power.

Senegal’s political future and direction will be decided exclusively through peaceful and democratic means. Ousmane Sonko concluded by affirming that Senegalese citizens will “calmly go to each election” to freely choose their leaders and exercise their sovereignty.
