A Message from Alhaji-Ansu Komara,
President of MMA – The Minnesota Mandingo Association

I am issuing this statement to directly and firmly reject the assessment made in the recent public statement by Felmausa Felmausa current and outgoing Board Co-Chair (Venn Osman Turay) regarding MMA - The Minnesota Mandingo Association and to correct the record for the MMA Community.

Let me be unequivocal: Felmausa's chapter-based structure does not authorize any individual to speak on behalf of MMA, to dictate terms of "acceptance" for community members, or to invoke my name and leadership position as justification for ultimatums. That is not how legitimate organizations operate, and it will not be tolerated.

MMAs as a nonprofit Organization rest on peaceful coexistence, cooperation, and mutual respect. These are not weaknesses to be exploited for personal or political leverage, they are hard-earned strengths, and I will defend them accordingly. Neither Mohamed Enzah Dorley nor senior brother Obe Bamba has ever had any conflict with me, and/ or with the MMA Community and I, Alhaji-Ansu Komara, President of MMA, have never had any conflict with either of them. Any claim suggesting otherwise is false and presenting it to our community as fact is irresponsible and unacceptable.

I want to be clear about something further: this is not a request, it is an expectation going forward; my name and MMA's leadership will not be used to manufacture division, issue ultimatums, or pressure individuals into compliance with demands I never authorized. If this continues, I will not stay silent, and I will address it publicly and directly, every time it happens.

Statements built on assumption rather than fact do real damage to individuals, to MMA's Community, reputation, and to the unity Felmausa claims to champion. Before anyone references MMA or its leadership in a public dispute, the bare minimum expected is to ask questions and verify facts first. That has not happened here, and it needs to stop.

MMA has worked very hard, deliberately and consistently to build peace within our community. We have shown restraint, extended goodwill, and stayed above unnecessary conflict over the years. That restraint should not be mistaken for passivity. I will protect MMA's name and this community's peace, and I will not hesitate to push back publicly and firmly against anyone who attempts to use either as a tool for division.

TO BE DIRECT:
Do not disturb our peaceful coexistence, and do not speak for MMA again without collecting facts from its leadership or the president.

Alhaji-Ansu Komara,
President, MMA – The Minnesota Mandingo Association.
My name is not Komala but Komara, period!

Your presence at the Q&A session showed the strength of our community's thirst for knowledge, and your attentiveness during his Dawah as he reminded us to reflect on both our good and bad deeds in preparation for the Hereafter, it was a beautiful reflection of our shared faith and unity.

May Allah (SWT) reward Imam Diane for his guidance and reward each of you for showing up, listening, and reflecting. Let us carry his reminder forward striving daily to better ourselves, seek forgiveness, and prepare for what awaits us.

🏆 MMA Represents at the GASAO - (Great Atlantic Social & Athletic Organization) Tournament! 🏆
Huge thanks to the Minnesota Mandingo Association on another strong showing at the GASAO - ( Great Atlantic Social & Athletic Organization ) tournament! Our team stepped onto the field with pride, discipline, and unity. The same spirit that has made MMA a name to respect in this competition.

This isn't luck. It's the result of dedication, teamwork, and a community that shows up for each other. Two-time defending champions isn't just a title it's proof of what we can build when we come together with commitment and heart. And we're not slowing down: the drive, talent, and brotherhood on this team make us confident MMA will keep raising that trophy year after year.

A big thank you to every player who laced up and gave it their all on the field. Your effort represents all of us. And a special thank you to our soccer leadership, whose planning, coordination, and dedication behind the scenes make the participation possible.

MMA strong.
MMA proud. 🇱🇷⚽
