SENEGAL'S NEW PRIME MINISTER IS THE IMF'S MAN — AND SONKO KNOWS IT

Senegal just got a new Prime Minister — and his résumé tells you everything. Days after President Bassirou Diomaye Faye sacked Ousmane Sonko, he replaced the most powerful sovereigntist in West Africa with Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo: a career central banker, a man who helped sell Senegal's debt to global markets, and a known defender of the CFA franc. In this episode we profile the new man at the top, we follow Sonko's counter-move toward the gavel of the National Assembly, and we ask the question half the continent is asking this week — would any other African democracy have even allowed this? This is a follow-up to our last report on the firing. We centre Africa in global affairs with analysis, not emotion. 💬 Tell me in the comments: GAVEL or BLOCKED?
