New Statement: Ousmane Sonko Settles Scores with Bassirou Diomaye Faye

Ousmane Sonko, President of the National Assembly of Senegal, sharply criticized Head of State Bassirou Diomaye Faye, accusing him of breaking the 'pact of good governance' for which people lost their lives. This outburst comes after Sonko was dismissed as Prime Minister in late May 2026 and then elected President of the National Assembly. Relations between the two men, once complementary, are now marked by open political confrontation.
