Sokhna Aïda Diallo on official visit to Touba, reasons for the great frustration of some Mouride followers

Sokhna Aïda Diallo, widow of Serigne Cheikh Béthio Thioune, is accused by part of the Mouride brotherhood of usurping religious prerogatives, such as baptizing children and officiating weddings. This controversy, which dates back to 2019, has been reignited by her visit to Serigne Sidy Abdoul Ahad Mbacké in Touba. The general caliph of the Mourides, Serigne Mountakha Mbacké, condemned her actions, leading to tensions within the community.
