Civil society organizations organized this Friday, September 29, 2023 in Léo, a march meeting to provide their unwavering support to the transitional government and the fighting forces.
Starting from the Natou roundabout, there were more than a hundred demonstrators, mostly young people, who took an active part in this march meeting in support of the transitional government and the fighting forces. Equipped with whistles and signs, they beat the pavement through the main arteries of the city on a closed circuit of 3 km to mark their unconditional and unfailing support for the transition and the fighting forces. They then found themselves at the starting point, a place set up to host the meeting. On the signs we could read, “support for the Fds and Vdp”, “total support for the president”, “strength and courage to the Fds and Vdp”, “no to these institutions and powers which finance terrorists”. >etc. According to the vice president of the Burkina-Russia friendship group (ABR), Asseni Ziba, this is our way of providing our unconditional and unfailing support to the transitional government in its policy of rebuilding and restoring the integrity of the territory. He also praised the saving actions of the Fds and Vdp on the ground, which allowed the return of a significant number of internally displaced people to their localities. He then greeted and thanked all the CSOs in the province of Sissili for this great mobilization. The president of the Burkina-Russia friendship group under the sissili section, Yacouba Ouédraogo, on behalf of all CSOs, paid vibrant tribute to the fighting forces engaged in the theaters of operations. We, organization of civil society, we believe that it is time to begin profound reforms which will reflect the realities of our country, he hoped. Because according to him the current constitution of our country is only a pasted copy of that of the imperialist colonizer written according to his culture and morals. “This is why we are calling here and now for the drafting of a constitution that embodies the moral and cultural values of our society,” he said. Before expressing the wish to see all the active forces of the nation involved in the drafting of the new constitution taking into account our habits and customs so that we can bequeath to our posterity a society of love, peace, dignity, integrity, social justice, equity, prosperity and development, he noted.
