A strong response, which surprises already in the ranks of the past. Often prompt to react on social networks, as recalled in the hours following the release of Abdourahmane Diouf on RTS, the members of the government are currently silent, after the shock communiqué of the head of state Diomaye Faye. The latter, after the meeting of his Prime Minister, was highly anticipated following the injunctions made by Ousmane Sonko, exhorting him to separate from some of his allies like Abdourahmane Diouf and Mimi Touré, whom he accuses of having been prompted by reports.
