Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has appointed a new government, despite an initial threat by his own party to boycott the process. Pastef, led by former prime minister Ousmane Sonko, said it would not participate, citing disagreements over the cabinet's composition, but five of its members ultimately appeared on the final list.
New prime minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lô unveiled a 30-member cabinet on Monday evening, but without the backing of Pastef, the party to which President Bassirou Diomaye Faye still belongs.
