Cheikh Thioro Mbacké dément un blocage des passeports diplomatiques par Ousmane Sonko
The controversy surrounding the issuance of diplomatic passports to religious dignitaries continues to fuel debate. Speaking on the matter in a plenary session of the National Assembly, Cheikh Thioro Mbacké categorically rejected accusations that Ousmane Sonko had prevented their issuance to religious authorities in Touba.
"It is a lie to say that Ousmane Sonko had withheld the diplomatic passports of religious dignitaries from Touba," he asserted, denouncing what he considers to be a falsehood.
For him, the fact that President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is distributing these documents today is not at all shocking. He even believes that this decision is justified, noting that religious dignitaries sometimes need to travel quickly, particularly for health reasons.
On the other hand, Cheikh Thioro Mbacké considers it "dishonest" to suggest that this distribution was blocked by former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also broadened the debate to include the concerns of the people of Touba. According to him, the real emergencies lie elsewhere, particularly in access to water and the improvement of road infrastructure.
He also offered a critical assessment of former President Macky Sall's record in the holy city. In his view, the achievements there remain limited, noting that the main infrastructure project completed is the Ila Touba highway. He believes that the former head of state's frequent visits to the religious city were insufficient to address its structural needs.
