Burkinabè newspapers discuss on their front pages the recommendations of the 5th edition of the West African Mining Activities Week (SAMAO), without forgetting the first anniversary of the Patriotic Movement for Safeguarding and Restoration (MPSR II) led by Captain Ibrahim Traoré .
The dean of Burkina Faso’s private daily newspapers, L’Observateur Paalga, highlights on its front page the words of the President of the Transition, Captain Ibrahim Traore, who states that “there is not this part of Burkina where we do not we can’t set foot.’
The newspaper reports that the Head of State, Captain Traoré, granted an interview to Burkinabè journalists, broadcast on national television, on Friday September 29, 2023, on the eve of Year I of MSPR II.

The same private daily mentions the march-meetings on the occasion of
this anniversary, reading: ‘Burkinabe people for a new constitution’.
In this regard, the national daily Sidwaya confirms that during various demonstrations across the country, demonstrators demanded the adoption of a new Constitution.
According to Sidwaya, Burkinabè people marched, among others, in Kaya (Central-North), in Manga (Central-South), in Ouahigouya (North), in Koudougou (Central-West) to show their solidarity with Captain Ibrahim Traoré.
Le Pays, another private newspaper, maintains that the populations of Dédougou (Boucle du Mouhoun) also organized on Friday September 29, 2023, a march-meeting in their locality to support the political transition underway in Burkina Faso.

Under another aspect, the same Sidwaya newspaper headlines: ‘SAMAO 2023: Recommendations for an attractive mining sector’.
The newspaper
informs that the 5th edition of the West African Mining Activities Week (SAMAO) closed its doors on Friday October 29, 2023 in Ouagadougou with around ten recommendations and resolutions.
