Game of Thrones in Senegal

Senegal—long viewed as one of Africa’s most stable democracies—has entered a period of intense political contestation. Game of Thrones in Senegal is a Strategic Political Intelligence Report that unpacks the unfolding power struggle between entrenched political elites, a mobilised youth population, and reformist leadership promising systemic change.

This report traces Senegal’s political evolution from its post-colonial foundations to the recent parliamentary dissolution, mass protests, and the rise of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye as the face of generational transition. It analyses the collapse of public trust under the previous administration, the role of opposition mobilisation, and the institutional stress placed on parliament, the judiciary, and security forces.

Beyond domestic politics, the report situates Senegal within the wider Sahelian context—examining why military coups elsewhere have not yet replicated in Senegal, while still posing latent risks. It evaluates reform promises around currency sovereignty, resource nationalism, governance restructuring, and the recalibration of relations with France, multinational corporations, and emerging external powers.

Designed for policymakers, investors, diplomats, security analysts, and Africa watchers, this product converts political turbulence into structured foresight.

Africa’s democratic battles are entering a decisive phase. Following Global Eye Intelligence ensures you understand which systems bend, which break, and which quietly reset—before outcomes harden and opportunities vanish.
