Senegal’s president fires prime minister, dissolves government

Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye fired Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and dissolved the government amid tensions over managing the country's debt crisis, which includes undisclosed debts of $13 billion. The move follows disagreements over IMF loan conditions and political power struggles between Faye and Sonko, who is the founder of the Pastef movement that supported Faye's 2024 election victory.
