President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has delivered a pointed message, widely interpreted as being directed at his former Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko. During the official launch of his new political entity, KIIRAAY – Les Patriotes républicains, the President issued a clear caution: « Fii, saa fitnë dootufi nanee ñeex ». This Wolof phrase translates to a resolute declaration: « Here, from now on, what was once tolerated will no longer be. »
Through this unequivocal statement, the founder of KIIRAAY – Les Patriotes Républicains underscored Senegal’s steadfast commitment to enduring stability and peace. This address emerges against a backdrop of escalating friction between the two prominent figures of the executive branch, coinciding with a significant realignment within the presidential majority and the establishment of President Diomaye’s new party.
The President’s recent remarks follow several months of publicly acknowledged disagreements with his former head of government. These divergences have manifested in distinct tones during their respective national addresses and culminated in the definitive rupture between the presidential coalition and the Pastef party.
Meanwhile, Ousmane Sonko, the leader of Pastef, is actively engaged in a membership card drive, an initiative he launched with his party colleagues in recent days.
