A public feud between two brothers, Serigne Abdou Sy Al Makhtoum and Serigne Moustapha Sy, has intensified in Senegal with accusations of misused political funds. Serigne Abdou Sy alleges that the President of Senegal directed political funds—often referred to as a "black box"—to his brother, Serigne Moustapha Sy, who then used them to finance a religious celebration known as Gamou. He claims these funds are taxpayer money and accuses his brother of improper use and abusive behavior. Further, Serigne Abdou Sy portrays his brother as volatile when lacking funds and arrogant when possessing them, claiming he lacks genuine friendships. This accusation occurs amid a national debate, fueled by Assembly President Ousmane Sonko, regarding the transparency of political fund allocation. Sonko has called for clarity on how these funds are spent, while emphasizing he does not seek their abolishment. The situation gains prominence as it directly links the President to the controversy.
