Bobo-dioulasso: The population of sector 27 of Bobo-Dioulasso carried out this Sunday an operation to clean the gutters in order to prevent damage linked to torrential rains.
According to Burkina Information Agency, early this morning, young people from Sector 27 in the town of Sya mobilized to empty the gutters along the tarmac. The goal, according to the organizers, is to contribute to a healthy living environment and prevent recurring flooding during the winter.
"Burkina Faso belongs to us and it is up to us to make it clean," said the initiative's coordinator, Basile Pal©. He stated that the operation mobilized many volunteers. Young people responded massively to the call, and the work of cleaning the gutters went well.
Mr. Pal© took the opportunity to invite other districts of the city to join the same dynamic to clean up the city of Bobo-Dioulasso. Reached by telephone, the president of the special delegation for the 5th district, Yoma Etienne Bako, welcomed this citizen initiative. He invited local residents to support the municipality with these types of beneficial actions.
