Political Reshuffling: Ousmane Sonko Loses Men, His Coalition Cracks

The formation of the new government led by Mouhamad Al Amin Lo under President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is causing tensions within Ousmane Sonko's coalition. Despite Sonko's call for his supporters to stay out of the executive, several figures from his camp joined the government, including Boubacar Camara as Minister of Higher Education, Cheikh Tidiane Dièye as Minister of Hydraulics, Moustapha Mamba Guirassy as Minister of National Education, and Déthié Fall as Minister of Infrastructure. These appointments reveal cracks in a coalition previously seen as united.
