On Saturday morning, Ousmane Sonko arrived in Louga with plans to visit the Koki daara. However, his itinerary was immediately disrupted by the overwhelming presence of talibés who had turned out in force to welcome him.

As he attempted to proceed inside the daara, the sheer number of supporters blocked his path, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere as they chanted his name. The unexpected turnout transformed the nature of his visit, forcing a pause in his planned activities.

Talibe mobilization halts Sonko’s progress

The talibés, known for their strong presence in the region, played a key role in halting Sonko’s movement through Koki. Their passionate chants echoed through the streets as they expressed their support, creating an electrifying environment that made it impossible for the political leader to continue his visit as scheduled.

The unplanned gathering not only delayed his program but also highlighted the deep connection between Sonko and his supporters in Louga.
