To the uninitiated, the city of Touba, some 200 km north of Dakar, the Senegalese capital, is a hot and dusty, interior commercial centre, a lot like Maiduguri in northern Nigeria. But to members of the Mouride Islamic movement, Touba is not what it appears to the ordinary eye. To the Mourides, Touba is a holy city, where the tomb of Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba Mbacké, founder of the movement, is located. It is also where his descendants rule the roost to the present day.
