AFP presents 41 photos taken by AFP photographer Patrick Meinhardt showing followers of the Mouride Brotherhood gathering inside the Grand Mosque of Touba during the Grand Magal, an annual religious pilgrimage commemorating the departure into exile of the brotherhood's founder, Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, in Touba on August 2, 2026. Millions of followers travelled to the holy city of Touba for what is considered one of the world's largest religious gatherings, commemorating the exile of the founder of Mouridism, Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, also known as Serigne Touba. In 1895, French colonial authorities exiled Serigne Touba to Gabon, concerned about his growing influence. He briefly returned to Senegal in 1902 before being exiled again to Mauritania from 1903 to 1907..
