According to Serigne Fallou Mbacké Khass: “ This is a regrettable act that we strongly condemn. For several years, Serigne Cheikhouna Mbacké Ibn El Hadji Bara Mbacké Falilou has been responsible for receiving guests from abroad. He is within his rights to request state support for their accommodation, which he has always done. This year, the request was officially made, but it was Cheikh Omar Diagne who categorically refused to carry out this request. We vehemently denounce his attitude. “, he declared, visibly indignant, while recalling his commitment to Pastef.
Serigne Fallou Mbacké Khass continues by estimating that neither the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye, nor the Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko, are informed of this affair.
He adds: “ They have not given any endorsement or guarantee to Sheikh Omar Diagne, who seems to be working to undermine the work of the government. We know his animosity towards Touba and the Mourides. This is why we ask the President to remove him from his position, because his continued presence could lead to regrettable conflicts. ».
Furthermore, Serigne Fallou Mbacké Khass, while welcoming the actions of the State during the Magal, campaigns for the Holy City of Touba to remain a bastion of the regime in place.
« Hosting about fifty people would not cost the State more than 20 million FCfa. The Magal plays a key role in the country’s economy, injecting billions into various sectors such as aviation and trade. The State, before, during and after the Magal, mobilizes significant resources to ensure the success of the event, whether in terms of health, security or water supply.
Faced with these realities, better consideration should have been given. It is important to remember that Touba played a decisive role in the election of President Diomaye, allowing him to inflict a bitter defeat on his opponents. Cheikh Oumar Diagne must not break this privileged relationship between the capital of Mouridism and the new power. We therefore demand his immediate resignation,” concluded the grandson of Serigne Khassim Mbacké Guinguinéo, with force and determination.
