Senegal's President Dismisses Prime Minister and Dissolves Government After Months of Tension

Senegal's president has dismissed the prime minister and dissolved the government following months of political tension in the West African nation. The president exercised his constitutional authority to remove the head of government through a simple decree, a power that allows executive leaders in Senegal's semi-presidential system to dismiss prime ministers without parliamentary approval. The move comes amid ongoing political instability in Senegal, though the specific issues that led to the government's dissolution were not immediately detailed.
