In Ouahigouya, Burkina Faso, people originally from the commune of Séguénéga met with Yacouba Guiro, the interim president of Séguénéga’s special delegation, to discuss the security crisis and how to fund local development.
Guiro thanked the residents of Ouahigouya for contributing to the war effort, noting they had collectively raised over 170 million FCFA for Séguénéga during the crisis. Military authorities reportedly consider Séguénéga among the top communes in the country for supporting the military.
Participants at the meeting also praised teachers for their work and asked for increased support for education. Boureima Ouédraogo, representing Séguénéga residents in Ouahigouya, proposed establishing a meeting group that would convene every six months to continue discussions. Guiro ended the meeting by honoring soldiers fighting in the region and called for unity in building up the commune. The group also discussed strengthening social cohesion and promoting the country’s “Progressive Popular Revolution.”
