Ndeye Rokhaya Thiam Affirms Loyalty to Ousmane Sonko Amid Turbulent Politics

In a recent statement on Facebook, Ndeye Rokhaya Thiam, the newly appointed director general of the Sénégalese Council of Shippers (COSEC), reiterated her commitment to Ousmane Sonko, sparking reactions in a climate of increasingly tense politics where loyalty is being questioned.

Thiam publicly expressed her support for Sonko amidst the tensions between Pastef leader Bassirou Diomaye Faye and the president of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye.

Appointed to lead COSEC in May 2024, replacing Abdoulaye Diop, Thiam expressed her views while several high-ranking officials and directors-general had recently been at the center of debates surrounding their positions within the evolving political landscape.
