Boulkiemdé: Bassolma Bazié calls for a patriotic surge

Ouagadougou: Minister Bassolma Bazié called yesterday, Saturday, the populations of Boulkiemdé to a patriotic surge to counter the forces of evil that are bringing mourning to Burkina Faso. The face-to-face meeting between the government delegation, led by Minister of State Bassolma Bazié, and the active forces of Boulkiemdé was held in the function room of the Koudougou town hall on Saturday, August 31, 2024. It was without mincing words that the head of the mission set the scene for the discussions, which focused on the national situation marked by terrorist attacks. For Bassolma Bazié, who was accompanied by the Minister of Justice, Édasso Rodrigue Bayala, and the Minister Delegate for Regional Cooperation, Stella Eldine Kabré, there is no longer any time for hesitation among the population. According to him, without good collaboration with the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) in terms of denunciation and reporting, the fight against the terrorist hydra will only drag on. Hence his vibrant call for a strong patriotic surge to thwart all offensive inclinations of the enemies of the motherland. In addition, the members of the government delegation took stock of the initiatives underway, under the leadership of the President of Faso, with a view to providing appropriate responses to the fight against the terrorist hydra, but also to the expectations of the populations. In this sense, Burkina Faso has turned to new partners (China, Turkey, Russia, etc.) for a win-win partnership. The vital forces, in return, reaffirmed their unfailing support for Captain Ibrahim Traoré and his government in this fight. They also made a number of suggestions to strengthen citizen monitoring and response strategies. This involves, among other things, setting up monitoring organizations in the markets and yaars, organizing and training youth groups in the sectors on intelligence issues, reviewing the communication system to make it a major instrument, and reintroducing the death penalty for stateless persons who do not disa rm against the search for sovereignty. Other issues relating to road infrastructure were also raised by some participants. It should be noted that the government delegation, upon its arrival, made contact with the FDS, the VDP, as well as with the traditional leaders of the region. The three other provinces of the Centre-West region, namely Sanguié, Sissili and Ziro, also received a visit from the delegation. Source: Burkina Information Agency
