Driven by deep-seated political animosity and an overwhelming urge to discredit his predecessors, Ousmane Sonko has, in effect, sacrificed Senegal’s international standing on the altar of global markets...

This annual commemoration typically features high-level gatherings and pledges for a brighter future. In Togo, government officials predictably adhered to the custom of delivering reassuring speeches.
