The man is exquisite. It is a courtesy and a courtesy that no rudeness, because foreign to its nature and its universe, can not disturb. By his birth and his vast culture, by his moral authority, his charisma and his generosity, Cheikh Ahmed Tidiane Sy leaves no one indifferent. His public action, both desired and feared depending on which side we find in relation to this action, also makes this great religious leader a major attraction. To this is added his reputation as an independent thinker and a man of principles who has taken leave of a society where cowardice has become a social law.
