Mouhoun: The celebration of Eid al-Fitr in Douroula on Friday, March 20, 2026, was marked by a moment of unity imbued with solidarity and gratitude between the administrative authorities and the Muslim faithful of the Douroula commune. The High Commissioner of the Mouhoun province, Bassoulemane Ouattara, called upon the population to consolidate peace.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the faithful gathered on the prayer area received a visit from the High Commissioner of the Mouhoun province, Bassoulemane Ouattara, accompanied by the President of the special delegation (PDS) of the commune of Douroula, Maxime Bakouan, who came to share with them this moment of religious fervor.

The presence of the province's top official has particular significance in a context marked by the gradual return of people to the area after several years spent away from their land due to the security situation. It is intended as a testament to the recognition of the resilience of communities, but also as a message of encouragement to continue efforts to rebuild the social fabric.

At the end of the prayer, the PDS extended its best wishes for a happy holiday to the people, while urging them to show more tolerance and strengthen interreligious cohesion. The High Commissioner, in turn, extended his best wishes for a happy holiday to the Muslim faithful. He praised the determination and resilience of the people of Douroula, who have shown courage in the face of adversity.

Bassoulemane Ouattara encouraged them to work together with the fighting forces for the restoration of security and the definitive return of peace in the commune, in the province of Mouhoun and at the national level. The ceremony concluded with a speech by the imam, who expressed the Muslim community's gratitude for the visit from the administrative authorities. He also offered blessings upon them before wishing the High Commissioner a safe journey home to Dedougou.
