'The cure must not kill the patient': Aminata Touré sets her conditions on the IMF and debt

Aminata Touré, High Representative of the Senegalese head of state, rejects any notion of institutional instability after the political split between President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. She asserts that institutions are functioning normally and salaries are paid on time. On the economic front, she acknowledges budgetary difficulties and an underestimated public debt, advocating a cautious approach in negotiations with the IMF: 'The cure must not kill the patient.'
