TANDEM AU SOMMET DE L'ÉTAT : Diomaye est-il toujours Sonko ?
For the past few days, things have been coming to light within the Sonko-Diomaye partnership. For some time now, voices have been questioning the harmony between President Diomaye and his Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko. Are Sonko and Diomaye still on the same page? In any case, recent events seem to suggest otherwise.
The alignment of the tandem at the top of the state has finally sown doubt. Hasn't "Sonko moy Diomaye, Diomaye moy Sonko" become an old slogan?
For days, both the government and the opposition have suspected a dispute between the head of state and the head of government, and some even expect a separation.
The clash between Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and Minister Abdourahmane Diouf, an ally of the Diomaye-President coalition, could serve as proof. Despite his disagreement with Sonko and the serious accusations leveled against him, the leader of the Awalé party remains in the government, and his ministry has been strengthened by President Diomaye.
Following Sonko's statements at the November 8th rally, wouldn't the Head of State have dismissed Minister Abdourahmane Diouf, if Sonko is still Diomaye? Wouldn't the existence of a disagreement have emboldened Abdourahmane Diouf to quarrel with Sonko? All of this raises suspicions, even if the pair appear to maintain a harmonious relationship.
The existence of a dispute between Sonko and Diomaye could also be seen in the relationship between the Head of State and Aminata Touré, President Diomaye's High Representative. For days, Sonko and Mimi have been exchanging barbs. During the tera-meeting, the Prime Minister addressed Mimi's position within the Diomaye-President coalition. Sonko clarified that the sole coordinator of this coalition remains Aïda Mbodj and that Mimi holds no such role. Furthermore, he brought up the matter of the IGE report, which allegedly implicated Mimi Touré in misappropriation of 2 billion CFA francs during her time at the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE).
Sonko had also declared that all those seeking to separate him from President Diomaye would be disappointed. Officials and activists from Pastef had even called for the resignation or dismissal of Abdourahmane Diouf and Mimi Touré.
Despite this, President Diomaye reportedly took a step today that strengthened Mimi's presence within the Diomaye-President coalition. Elected under this coalition's banner, Diomaye is said to have dismissed Aïda Mbodj, the previous coordinator, and appointed Aminata Touré in her place.
This decision by President Diomaye could be seen as a real act of defiance and the beginning of a separation.
The people will see what happens next.
