Journée de prière pour Farba Ngom à Ndioum : Cheikh Oumar Anne dénonce « une affaire politique »
The mobilization in support of Farba Ngom continues in Fouta. This Friday, a large day of Quranic recitation was organized in Ndioum to pray for the mayor of Agnam, who has been imprisoned for almost a year.
The initiative, spearheaded by Dr. Cheikh Oumar Anne, brought together several religious authorities and prominent figures from Fouta. Among those present were Thierno Mountaga Tall, representing the family of El Hadj Omar Tall in the Podor department, as well as Thierno Madani Hassirou Tall and other scholars from various localities in Fouta. Relatives, friends, and followers also traveled from several communes in the region.
During this day of spiritual reflection, participants recited 124 verses from the Holy Quran in a collective outpouring of prayers for the political leader's release. According to the organizers, this mobilization reflects the solidarity of the people of Fouta with the man they consider a benefactor of the community.
Speaking to the press after the ceremony, Sheikh Oumar Anne praised the strong turnout of religious families, particularly those from the departments of Podor, Dagana, Linguère, and the Matam region. He explained that the choice of Friday was not accidental.
“It is Friday the 13th. In Islamic numerology, 13 refers to Ahad, meaning the Unique. Friday is a day chosen by God. We have therefore decided to address Him, the Almighty, because He alone solves the problems of the believers,” he said.
According to him, the various religious families present prayed in unison for Farba Ngom, whom they consider "a brother, a neighbor and a benefactor of Islam and the community".
Beyond the religious dimension, Sheikh Oumar Anne also offered a political interpretation of the case. While affirming his confidence in the judicial system, he believes that Farba Ngom's case is not solely a matter for the courts.
“For my part, I believe in justice. I myself have just won a case. But in this matter, justice has not yet intervened. The problem is purely political,” he argued.
The organizer of the day of prayer pointed the finger at the country's current authorities, believing that Farba Ngom's situation was linked to a political decision. He specifically mentioned Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, and their government.
"This is not justice. This is Ousmane Sonko, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and their government," he asserted, accusing the Prime Minister of waging a political battle against Farba Ngom.
Sheikh Oumar Anne also called on MPs to be cautious regarding issues related to lifting parliamentary immunity, believing that decisions taken today could have political consequences in the future.
Despite his criticisms, the former minister emphasized the spiritual path chosen by the people of Fouta. According to him, prayer remains the priority so that God may grant Farba Ngom his freedom.
"Our role is to pray for Farba to regain his freedom. Power belongs to God. He gives a small portion of it to men so that they may be at the service of his creatures," he concluded, expressing the hope that the prayers offered during this day will be answered.
