Mouhoun: As part of the commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the National Armed Forces (FAN), the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) of the D©dougou garrison organized a vast sanitation operation in several public places in the city, including the Regional Hospital Center (CHR), the multipurpose hall, and the military cemetery.

According to Burkina Information Agency, equipped with brooms, rakes, and other cleaning tools, elements of the Defense and Security Forces, supported by volunteers from the population, undertook the task of cleaning and sanitizing these symbolic spaces of community life and collective memory. The activity was supervised by Commander Ambroise B©lemkoabga, the head of the 51st Commando Infantry Regiment (RIC), representing the Commander of the 5th Military Region.

The Secretary General of the Mouhoun province, Boureima Ou©draogo, and the First Vice-President of the D©dougou special delegation, Charles Coulibaly, participated in this initiative, reflecting the army's commitment to the well-being of the population beyond its primary mission of defending the territory. Municipal authorities provided logistical support with cleaning equipment and tricycles for waste disposal.

Commander B©lemkoabga stated that this action is part of the commemorative activities of the National Armed Forces' anniversary and aims to improve the living environment while strengthening bonds of fraternity and solidarity between the National Armed Forces and the populations. He emphasized that community service and local development are integral components of the army's republican vocation.

Echoing this approach, the FDS of the D©dougou garrison reiterated their commitment to continue such citizen initiatives, believing that cleanliness, solidarity, and civic-mindedness contribute to building a strong and united nation. This sanitation operation seeks to consolidate the bond of trust with the populations, fostering unity, cohesion, and shared responsibility, aligning with the vision of a republican army committed to peace, security, and development in Burkina Faso.
