re any remarks, the imam of the Sunni mosque was invited to bless the meeting. He took advantage of recalling the benefits of Lieutenant Ouattara when he was stationed in the locality.
‘I wanted to remind you through this channel that detachment leader Ouattara taught us social cohesion, good lessons of morality, living together, that is to say, VDP population, FDS population, host population and PDI. For his benefits, we gave him a white turban as a sign of respect and consideration. We will at the same time ask the second vice-president to carry our message for Lieutenant Ouattara’s replacement so that he takes the same steps. What we are going to collect today is symbolic and we will always pray that he regains all his health,’ said the Imam.
