Ouagadougou: The civil society movement ‘Fasokooz’ announced Thursday that it is organizing on Saturday July 6, 2024, a patriotic return to raise awareness among young people about patriotism and renew its support for the President of Faso, the captain Ibrahim Traoré.

According to the movement’s spokesperson, the patriotic return to school is also an opportunity for
civic and moral education, citizenship training, ideology, military discipline, agricultural field work, reforestation and learning other professions.
