The President of the Republic paid a visit to Thierno Ahmadou Tidiane Ba, Khalif General of Medina Gounass, on the sidelines of the Daaka, at the conclusion of his economic tour of the Kolda region.
By choosing to end his visit there, the Head of State underscored his regard for a leading religious authority and for a city that holds a prominent place in the nation’s spiritual life. Through its influence and the moral authority it embodies, Medina Gounass contributes profoundly to social peace, the transmission of values, and national cohesion.
This visit serves as a reminder that the stewardship of the State is not measured solely by its projects and achievements. It is also reflected in the attention given to what sustains the Nation’s stability over time, the strength of its guiding values, and the unity of the Senegalese people.
