Rabat: The last market of 2025 in Sanaba saw a large turnout this Friday, marked by a festive and friendly atmosphere, a few days before the celebration of the New Year on January 1.

According to Burkina Information Agency, from the early hours of the morning, the weekly market welcomed a wide variety of traders and buyers from the surrounding villages, including Ziga, Founa, Dio, Namassa, Berenkuy, Gnoumakuy, Sorowa, Yenkuy, Kosso, Kossoba, Kooba, Bendougou, Pekuy, Yasso, and Dira. Delegations from neighbouring provinces, notably Nouna and D©dougou, were also reported.

As the holiday season approached, the well-stocked stalls offered a variety of products to meet household needs: clothing, food, condiments, local drinks, and smoked meat and fish. Vendors of dolo (a local beer), local juices, and products from the Sanaba and Ziga streams enlivened the market's perimeter, contributing to the warm atmosphere.

Ms. Sanou, a local juice vendor, was delighted by the enthusiasm she observed. "Customers are numerous and satisfied. Everyone is preparing to celebrate the New Year in style," she said. Vendors of clothing and other items also praised the diversity and quality of the products available during this festive season.

On the buyers' side, Mr. Diarra, who came from Dio, highlighted the affordability of the prices and the good quality of the goods. "You can find everything here to prepare for the January 1st celebration," he emphasized.

This last market of the year thus appears as a true economic and social crossroads, strengthening the links between localities and announcing, in a joyful atmosphere, the festivities of the transition to the new year.
