Koosin/Excessive Logging: An Unavoidable Scourge for Cleaning Women

Koosin: an observation made this Wednesday, January 28, 2026, reveals that the blockade imposed on the population of Sono has led to excessive cutting of wood in the outskirts. The resilience of the people of Sono has resulted in increased logging activities.

According to Burkina Information Agency, Indeed, to maintain cleanliness in their homes, women are compelled to cut green wood, a necessity that has transformed into a constraint, creating a desolate scene on the eastern side of the village. "We can no longer go deep into the bush for fear of becoming targets for the enemy. Therefore, we are forced to cut fresh wood to dry it and use it for cooking," explains Djeneba Traor©, a housewife.

Bibata Dierro echoes this sentiment, adding that they are forced to cut down these natural resources against their will. The phenomenon persists, and alternatives must be found to stop this issue. The village chief is appealing to the population to refrain from cutting fresh wood.
