There is a strong symbol in the choice of Bobo-Dioulasso to host this Thursday’s Council of Ministers presided over by Captain Ibrahim Traoré. The second city of Burkina Faso, the economic capital of the country’s west, receives the government in its entirety, recalling that the Republic is not governed solely from Ouagadougou and that the decisions that commit the country’s future can and must sometimes be taken closer to the realities on the ground.
This working session at the summit of the State will bring together the members of the government around an agenda whose files, once adopted, must respond to the deep aspirations of a Burkinabe people who expect actions worthy of the sacrifices they make every day.
In accordance with the orientations of the Popular Progressive Revolution, every decision taken during this Council is part of an overall vision that places the citizen at the center of public action.
The details of the files examined will be communicated at the end of the session by the minister who serves as government spokesperson.
But the very holding of this Council in Bobo-Dioulasso constitutes in itself a political message: that of a State that moves, that settles where Burkinabe live and work, and that refuses to let the distance between the capital and the country’s other cities turn into a distance between the government and its people.
