Conflit Diomaye-Sonko : Hamidou Anne rappelle àl'ordre, « la Constitution doit être leur boussole »
Faced with persistent rumors and speculation regarding tensions between President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and his Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, essayist Hamidou Anne called for restraint and strict adherence to the institutional framework. Interviewed by the Sunday Jury program on Iradio, he emphasized the need to stick to the "fundamental text."
Hamidou Anne dismissed sensationalist interpretations by relying on the Fundamental Law of Senegal. "The Constitution, the whole Constitution, nothing but the Constitution," he affirmed, quoting his leitmotif.
He recalls the clear distribution of responsibilities within the Executive: Article 42: the President of the Republic "determines the policy of the nation"; Article 53: the Government, led by the Prime Minister, "conducts this policy".
According to the politician, a member of the APR party, in a rationalized parliamentary system like Senegal's, the institutional architecture leaves "no room for ambiguity." The President sets the guidelines, and the Prime Minister is responsible for their implementation.
He refuses to read any potential frictions as an "open conflict", viewing them instead as a natural management inherent in shared power.
He stresses that "the compass must remain the Constitution," because it is always the institutions – and not the men – that have allowed Senegal to get through deeper crises without collapsing.
This adherence to the constitutional letter is part of his broader vision of a democracy based on rules, limits and checks and balances.
