New individual measures: Here are the Pastef leaders dismissed by Bassirou Diomaye Faye

The general directors of national companies favorable to Ousmane Sonko must prepare their affairs. Bassirou Diomaye Faye is determined to dismiss them from their positions. This is what some call "de-Sonkization."

The President of the Republic continues to clean up the ranks of his rival's supporters, Ousmane Sonko. He dismissed the general director of the Autonomous Port of Dakar, Waly Diouf Bodian, yesterday. This senior official of Pastef is replaced by Doune Pathé Mbengue, a former member of the Apr.

NAMES OF DISMISSED LEADERS

Babo Amadou Ba, the national coordinator of Pastef cadres (Moncap) and general director of the Professional and Technical Training Financing Fund (3FPT), has also been dismissed. He is replaced by Soulèye Kane. The Pastef representative in Touba, Lamine Barra Lô, general director of the National Office of Professional Training (ONFP), is replaced by Mame Awa Ndoye.

Karamba Diallo is appointed general director of the SEN-National Pharmacy Supply, replacing Seydou Diallo, a supporter of Sonko and Pastef's representative in Keur Massar. It is worth noting that Cheikh Dieng, who was dismissed by Ousmane Sonko from Onas, is returning to business. He becomes the general director of the Autonomous Road Maintenance Fund (Fera), replacing Ms. Soukèye Diop.

Indeed, yesterday, the presidency of the Republic launched a call for applications to find a successor for him. Mamadou Djitté, a magistrate, becomes the president of the Board of Directors of the Senegal Mining Company (Somisen), replacing Mbaye Sène. Next week, other officials close to Sonko are expected to be dismissed.

Last week, in the Council of Ministers, Bassirou Diomaye Faye dismissed Toussaint Manga from Lonase, Gagne Demba Touré from Somisen, and half a dozen general directors. At war with Pastef, Bassirou Diomaye Faye seeks, with this "de-Sonkization," to reduce the financial clout of his opponents and strengthen his supporters in anticipation of the local elections in 2027 and the presidential election in 2029. ...
