Residents of Dakar have been reacting to Friday’s sacking of prime minister Ousmane Sonko.
After months of tensions, Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye dissolved government and fired Sonko.
But the former prime minister retains a passionate following among the country’s youth.
"Thank God. For us Sonko supporters, this is what we expected," says Dakar resident Ibrahima Dione.
"Ousmane Sonko has achieved more than any other minister in the history of Senegal. We will be prouder than ever to stand by his side. Bassirou Diomaye Faye behaved immaturely.”
