Senegal political split leaves students divided

Listen now1 min

In Senegal, the political fracture between President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko continues to spark debate, particularly among the nation’s youth. Many students are struggling to reconcile themselves with the sudden collapse of the once-powerful alliance that had promised sweeping change.

The latest chapter unfolded when the newly appointed Prime Minister unveiled a cabinet reshuffle, only to be met with an immediate declaration from Sonko’s Pastef-Les Patriotes party: no members would participate. This move formally sealed a rift that had been widening for months, leaving observers and supporters alike searching for answers.
