00:09These are the instructions from Senegal's government to the country's football federation,
00:14amid an escalating row over Senegal's exit from the World Cup.
00:19The Taranga Lions' journey at the tournament ended in the round of 32,
00:24after being defeated 3-2 by Belgium.
00:27The football federation then dismissed coach Pep Chau following the match.
00:33Later, the row escalated after the federation's president blamed the team's long-time doctor
00:38for contributing to player unease during the tournament.
00:43Tensions also still remain with regards to last year's AFCON,
00:47when Senegal was suddenly stripped of its title after initially being declared winner against Morocco.
00:54The government will now move to examine responsibilities and sketch out a plan to move forward.
