This Thursday’s Burkinabè dailies comment extensively on the return to Ouagadougou, the day before, of 64 Burkinabè from Tunisia, as well as the announcement of the operation to control and withdraw land for use other than housing.
The private daily Today in Faso reads in the title: “Land: Soon an operation of control and withdrawal of land for use other than housing”.
“Land for use other than housing: Control and removal operation from April 1 to 30, 2023”, headlines the national daily Sidwaya.
The public daily informs that in a press release the Minister of Economy, Finance and Prospective informed the recipients and / or assignees of land for use other than housing that its technical services will carry out the control and withdrawal from April 1 .
Sidwaya reports that Aboubacar Nacanabo has invited all those who are not in compliance with the provisions of “the law” to kindly regularize their situation.
The private newspaper Le Pays reports on this subject that the checks will cover, among other things, land used for commerce, industry, livestock, education, health, place of worship as well as the payment of rights and taxes.
From another angle, Today in Faso and the newspaper Le Quotidien chorus: “Situation in Tunisia: 64 Burkinabè back home”.
In this regard, the dean of private Burkinabè dailies, L’Observateur Paalga, publishes on its front page: “Violence against sub-Saharans in Tunisia: End of ordeal for around sixty Burkinabè”.
The newspaper reports that after Guinea, Mali and Côte d’Ivoire, it is Burkina Faso’s turn to welcome its nationals living in Tunisia and victims of attacks following the statements of the Tunisian president in recent times.
The private daily informs that according to the Minister Delegate for Regional Cooperation, Karamoko Traoré, there will possibly be other groups who will return through other arrangements.
For his part, Sidwaya points out that the returnees thanked the government and the embassy for having organized the return of Burkinabè wishing to return to the country and pleaded with the authorities for their reintegration, because 95% returned empty-handed.
