The youth of the Center region celebrated on Saturday August 19, 2023 in Komsilga, the regional international youth day, during which they advocated a true union of all young Burkinabè with a view to to fight terrorism effectively.

“We are young and we must assume our present and our future because the history of tomorrow will be written in the ink of our actions. This is why I appeal to the sense of our patriotism, our tolerance and our solidarity to fight against terrorism and build a society of peace”, declared the president of the youth of the Center, Djibril Bamogo.

According to him, this day is far from being a festive day, it must be guided by a deep reflection on the role of youth in the development process and their dynamism in the reconquest of the territory.

“The youth has made a commitment to contribute to the fight against terrorism through awareness-raising and awareness campaigns because the country belongs to us and there will be no peace if we do not wage this war in union. “, he added.

“Our country is facing a multidimensional crisis, namely security, humanitarian where young people can be recruited willingly or by force through these terrorist groups”, lamented the governor of the center, Dr. Abdoulaye Bassinga.
