Senegal’s political shifts and global tensions explored in weekly debate
Senegal’s evolving political landscape and global tensions: what’s next?
This week’s discussion focuses on Senegal’s shifting political dynamics, the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, and the implications for Africa’s role in the 2026 World Cup. With a newly formed presidential party and constitutional reforms under scrutiny, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is navigating uncharted territory. Will his strategy win over the opposition and sway public opinion?
In the Middle East, tensions involving Iran are escalating once again. Following a fresh round of airstrikes and retaliatory actions, Donald Trump declared the ceasefire “over.” Describing negotiations with Tehran as a “waste of time,” the U.S. president has hinted at further military operations. Is the region on the brink of another major conflict?
Each week, African journalists and analysts dissect the most pressing issues shaping both the continent and the world.
