Les dessous de la visite du Khalife de Léona Niassène à Diomaye Faye et El Malick Ndiaye
The visit of the Caliph General of Léona Niassène, Serigne Cheikh Ahmed Tidiane Niasse, to Dakar did not go unnoticed. In a context where the political and social climate in Senegal is becoming increasingly volatile, the arrival of the religious leader at the head of a large delegation immediately sparked questions and analyses.
"Behind this official tour, there are issues of mediation, prevention and alert that go far beyond republican courtesy," it is whispered.
Indeed, the country's socio-economic situation remains difficult. Added to this are the numerous controversies shaking the public sphere, notably the alleged tension between President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye and his Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko.
"This perception of a chill at the top of the executive branch is worrying, fuels speculation and undermines citizens' trust. It is this tense climate that motivated the entry onto the scene of the Khalifa of Léona Niassène, known for his role in appeasement and unity," reports a source close to the religious leader.
“(…) a constant dialogue between public authorities”
Received with full honors at the Palace, Serigne Cheikh Ahmed Tidiane Niasse held a lengthy private meeting with the President of the Republic. According to several reliable sources, the religious leader sought a direct and frank assessment of the internal situation at the highest levels of government. He was particularly interested in understanding the precise nature of the disagreements attributed to the executive duo of Diomaye and Sonko.
According to those close to the Caliph, this move aims to defuse any possible escalation that could further weaken the already tested stability of the country.
In the afternoon, the Caliph visited the President of the National Assembly, El Malick Ndiaye. There too, the meeting provided an opportunity to discuss the national situation from a different perspective: institutional cohesion and the rise of social movements, particularly the teachers' strike launched on Wednesday. The discussions were considered frank and constructive.
The marabout emphasized the importance of "constant dialogue between public authorities" and intermediary bodies to avoid stagnation. "The Khalif's actions follow in the footsteps of his father, Mame Khalifa Niasse, an emblematic figure of social and political mediation in Senegal. For decades, he distinguished himself through his commitment to resolving conflicts, reconciling estranged families, and calming the most virulent political disputes. By assuming this role, Serigne Cheikh Ahmed Tidiane Niasse intends to restore religious mediation to its rightful place in consolidating national unity," it was stated.
The plea for the rural world
Beyond the political issues, the Khalif addressed a subject that is particularly close to his heart: the situation of the rural world, especially the 2025–2026 peanut campaign. He urged the State to set a fair and remunerative price for the kilogram of peanuts, recalling that many of his talibés live exclusively from this crop.
This appeal aims to raise awareness of the risks of a silent but profound discontent among rural populations, already facing climatic and economic hardships. The Khalif's mission does not end with these two meetings. Further meetings are planned with political, economic, and social stakeholders from various backgrounds.
The objective remains clear: to listen, understand, appease and bring the protagonists back towards a national consensus.

Il ne peut plus parler de Jub Jubbal Jubanti.
Il doit libérer tous les détenus et transformer les prisons en marchés au moins pour caser les ambulants.
Ensuite, supprimer tous les corps de contrôle qu’il vient de discréditer, supprimer le ministère de la justice et virer les magistrats.
Comme le Sénégal deviendra un jungle ou règnera la loi du plus fort.
C’est dommage pour un jeune président qui avez la chance de marquer son passage avec l’espoir qu’il a suscité pour toute la jeunesse africaine.
Je ne fais pas confiance à ce monsieur !!!
Demandez vous pourquoi votre sonko n a Pas ete candidat et pourquoi il aurait choisi parmis des millions de personnes ,monsieur diomaye?
Ceux qui crient aujourdhui ,etaient ou ence moment? Arrettez avec votre pensé a la con
Comme ils occupaient les postes de grossistes de Orange money.
Un aveugle clair de ses intentions. Il devait dire non ,dissoudre Diomaye-président, limoger Mimi Touré et Abdourahmane Diouf et s'engager à soutenir Sonko en 2029,comme l'attend la majeure partie de la population sénégalaise. Sa réponse sonne comme celle d'un malfaiteur pris la main dans le sac.Et comme une boutade et une révolte, exaspéré de devoir répondre à cette question.
