Serigne Khalifa Kounta, the esteemed spokesperson for the Khadre brotherhood, conveyed profound admiration for Ousmane Sonko. The President of the National Assembly was present in Ndiassane, participating in preliminary events leading up to the Gamou, scheduled for Tuesday, September 1st.

During his address, Serigne Khalifa Kounta expressed: « Ndongo daara le, arabisan le, ku mokeul alxourane le ». This Wolof phrase translates to the President of the National Assembly being an “enfant de daara” — a product of the revered Quranic educational system. This background is a significant source of pride for both the religious and educational communities.

Khadre brotherhood’s unwavering support

« This is a source of immense pride for us, the doumou daara (children of the daara) », he further emphasized, underscoring the deep connection and allegiance of the Khadre spiritual order to Ousmane Sonko and his distinguished journey.

This public declaration of support followed a particularly warm reception for Ousmane Sonko in Ndiassane. He had previously been welcomed by Serigne Sidy Mahtar Kounta, the General Khalife of the Khadres, along with the brotherhood’s spokesperson.
