Ouagadougou: This Monday's publications largely focus on the Tiegnan II case, the seizure of 60 bags of cyanide by the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DST) of the Tenkodogo customs, and the fire that ravaged 160 stalls at the Paspanga market.

According to Burkina Information Agency, L'Observateur Paalga headlines: "Tiegnan II affair: Camille Y and 7 others at the bar in December". The newspaper specifies that the defendant Y Yak Camille and 14 other people are being prosecuted for alleged misappropriation of public funds, illicit enrichment, forgery of public documents, and money laundering. The country indicates that among the eight people who will appear from December 12 to 22, 2025, before the judges is former minister Laure Zongo/Hien.

The two dailies also relay the Bar's reaction to the words of the prosecutor of the Ouaga I High Court, Balkouli Blaise Bazi, according to whom "as in any procedure where there are lawyers, it is to be expected that they will do everything possible to block the procedure". The colleague reports that the Bar considers these comments regrettable, because they are akin to a generalization and stigmatization of the action of lawyers.

The newspapers also report on the seizure of 60 bags of cyanide by the Tenkodogo Customs Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DST). The Country reports on this subject that on Thursday, November 27, the DST-customs of Tenkodogo seized 60 bags of cyanide, found buried in the heart of a truck loaded with cartons of edible oil carefully arranged to inspire confidence and divert suspicion. L'Observateur Paalga relays the words of the Director General of Customs, Yves Kafando, who praised this feat while denouncing "the ignominy represented by the use of a humanitarian fa§ade to circulate such a lethal poison".

Another highlight covered by the daily newspapers was the fire at the Paspanga market that ravaged 160 stalls. L'Observateur Paalga says that according to the explanations of the director of the Urban Development Agency Rosalie Kabor/Kabor, the alert was given around 8 a.m. The newspaper informs that according to Mrs. Kabor, 160 stalls, mainly dedicated to condiments, were strongly affected by the flames. The director of the Urban Development Agency also recalled that her structure will continue to raise awareness among merchants in order to prevent such tragedies, reports L'Observateur Paalga.
