« C’est une fierté pour nous » : Serigne Khalifa Kounta soutient Ousmane Sonko à Ndiassane

Addressing the President of the National Assembly, Serigne Khalifa Kounta notably declared: « Ndongo daara le, arabisan le, ku mokeul alxour ane le ».

Serigne Khalifa Kounta, the esteemed spokesperson for the Khadres confraternity, offered profound praise for Ousmane Sonko during a recent visit to Ndiassane. The President of the National Assembly was present in the holy city as part of preparations for the upcoming Gamou, scheduled for Tuesday, September 1st.

In his address to the President of the National Assembly, Serigne Khalifa Kounta made a significant statement: « Ndongo daara le, arabisan le, ku mokeul alxourane le ». This Wolof expression eloquently signifies that the President of the National Assembly is a “child of the daara” – a product of the revered Quranic educational system. This background is a profound source of pride for both the educational and religious communities across Sénégal.
