Senegal’s political crisis deepens as parliament speaker quits after PM’s shock dismissal

The rapid institutional collapse — executive and legislative leadership gone within 72 hours — signals political risk for a country mid-negotiation with international lenders, raising sovereign stability concerns for any business or investment exposure in West Africa.
