Invited on France Inter for the release of La Fabrique du présent, and picked up by the newspaper Les Échos, Felwine Sarr delivered a critical reading of the political situation in Senegal, marked by tensions between President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko.
The essayist recalls that the rise to power in 2024 was largely built around Sonko's popularity and leadership. "It was hoped that they would inaugurate a new form of governance," he explains, while emphasizing that this experiment was quickly confronted with classic institutional realities.
For him, this dynamic ultimately revealed its limitations. "We had a duo that we wanted to see working in tandem, and it showed its limitations," he states, believing that the traditional functioning of the state gradually regained control. "The institutional logic of power took over," he adds.
Beyond this crisis, Felwine Sarr calls for a broader reflection on existing political models and their transformation. "This inspires me with the need to rethink institutional forms in our spaces and to reinvent them," he suggests.
