Senegal forms new government after PM sacked
Senegal's newly formed government excludes ousted Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, whose party controls a majority of parliamentary seats. President Bassirou Diomaye Faye dissolved the previous administration amid disputes over a $40 billion debt crisis, appointing economist Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo as the new prime minister and forming a cabinet with 30 ministers, including members of Sonko's party.
