Macky Sall and Bassirou Diomaye Faye Currently Targeted by Ousmane Sonko

Ousmane Sonko, Speaker of the National Assembly, announced the opening of five new parliamentary investigation commissions, targeting the legacy of Macky Sall’s former regime and President Faye. These investigations, involving cases like Petro-Tim-Kosmos Energy and special funds, are seen by some as a move for settling scores and potentially embarrassing the head of state. Analyst Ibrahima Bakhoum notes that this strategy might go beyond targeting former officials to directly implicate Bassirou Diomaye Faye by exposing alleged practices of officials who joined the ruling movement.
