‘It is inconceivable that one would become a refugee in his own country because it has been several years since he set foot in his own village,’ said David Ouali.

He continued that every Burkinabè, every patriot must work to support the highest authorities and the valiant fi
ghters in the fight to reconquer our homeland.

The delivery of this donation saw the presence of the highest administrative, paramilitary and military authorities in the region.

The regional coordinator of the Eastern VDP, Captain Aboubacar Coulbaly, welcomed the donor’s gesture.

‘This donation arrived at a time when the VDP have an enormous need to accomplish their task of reconquering the territory,’ he indicated.

For him, the VDPs also need other means and equipment such as radios to facilitate their communication.

The High Commissioner of Tapoa, René Karambiri, expressed his gratitude to Mr. Ouali and invited the daughters and sons of Gulmu to respond to the call of the President of Faso according to which the fight against terrorism could be the a matter and the prerogative of the armed forces only.
