Senegal's president forms new party as political crisis continues
Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye established a new political party called Kiiraay, intensifying his separation from former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. The split follows disagreements over managing Senegal’s debt crisis, which has pushed the country’s debt above 130% of GDP and disrupted IMF programs.
