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

During his address to the National Assembly President, Serigne Khalifa Kounta notably proclaimed: « Ndongo daara le, arabisan le, ku mokeul alxourane le ». This Wolof declaration translates to an affirmation that the President of the National Assembly is a “child of the daara,” signifying his upbringing within the traditional Quranic educational system. This background, Kounta emphasized, represents a profound source of pride for the entire educational and religious community.

Khadre confraternity’s endorsement of Sonko

« It is a great source of pride for us, the doumou daara (children of the daara), » Serigne Khalifa Kounta further added, underscoring the deep connection and unwavering support of the Khadre confraternity for Ousmane Sonko and his distinguished journey.

This significant public endorsement follows the warm reception Ousmane Sonko received in Ndiassane, where he was formally welcomed by the General Khalife of the Khadres, Serigne Sidy Mahtar Kounta, alongside his spokesperson.
