Musical Chairs: Major Shake-up at the Police's Mobile Intervention Brigade (BIP)

On September 24, 2026, Senegal's Interior Minister signed a decision affecting 19 senior police officers, including promoting El Hadj Lamine Ndione to commander of the Mobile Intervention Brigade (BIP). Ndione, previously deputy commander, replaces Ousmane Fall, who has been appointed head of the Louga Regional Security Service. These changes are part of a broader police restructuring aimed at improving cohesion and operational efficiency of elite units.
