ost of the speakers urged the highest authorities to revise the Constitution by taking into account the cultural values ??specific to Burkinabè such as respect for the rights of the eldest, taking into account the habits and customs of all ethnic groups in Burkina Faso and the involvement of traditional leaders in political and judicial decision-making.

as la France’, ‘It’s over, France has lost Africa’, etc.
