He recalled that the rise of colors this morning is a strong act, heavy with meaning that has been taken.

For him, “what is happening to us today [ed. insecurity] is perhaps the fault of certain parents, educators and institutions who have not been able to instil a sense of homeland and citizenship in children>>. He also added that the rise of colors should not be a routine without an impact on our behavior. Thus, Dr. Kyelem quoted famous people like Guimbi Ouattara, Tiéfo Amoro, who resisted foreign penetration, to whom we must be inspired to face the adversity of today.

This monthly raising ceremony of the colors is done every first Tuesday of the month in a rotating way in the different regional directions of the city of Bobo-Dioulasso. The next climb is scheduled to take place at the Regional Directorate of Health and Public Hygiene.
