Diplomatie : « Le PM n'a aucune qualité à... », la nouvelle charge de Mayoro Diop contre Sonko
In a new post published on social media, the director of decentralized cooperation at the Ministry of Urban Planning, Territorial Communities and Territorial Development, Baye Mayoro Diop, strongly criticized Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, thus reviving a controversy around the prerogatives in matters of state diplomacy.
Referring to remarks attributed to the head of government during a conference held in Dakar, particularly regarding former US President Donald Trump, the administrative official believes that these statements reflect a "confusion of institutional roles" at the top of the state.
In his message, Mr. Diop recalls that diplomacy remains, in his view, a "reserved domain of the Head of State", currently President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, as well as his authorized representatives, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the ambassadors.
"The PM has no authority to speak on foreign policy issues, except with the express authorization of the Head of State," he asserts, arguing that any uncontrolled speech in this area could, in his view, weaken the coherence of Senegal's foreign policy and expose the country to diplomatic risks.
Extending his analysis further, the senior official believes that certain statements by the Prime Minister could harm Senegal's strategic interests and damage its relations with international partners. He also critically raises the possibility of a "gradual encroachment" by the head of government into diplomatic affairs.
As a reminder, a few days ago, Baye Mayoro Diop was already calling for the "immediate dismissal" of the Prime Minister, thus accentuating the verbal tensions around the institutional roles within the executive.
