Senegal's ousted prime minister says his party will not participate in new government

Ousmane Sonko, formerly Senegal's prime minister and now ousted, announced that his Pastef party will shun the new government, signaling potential political instability as the nation grapples with a severe debt crisis. This move could complicate efforts to form a stable coalition, especially given the urgent need for economic reforms. Sonko's decision underscores the ongoing tensions within the political landscape and may further alienate opposition forces from the governance process.
