Due to the security context, the cultivation of large cereals is prohibited around Diapaga, the AIB has learned.

The rainy season has settled in Tapoa since the beginning of June.

Displaced persons from several villages who could not yet leave to cultivate in their villages of origin, based their hope on a few small spaces that they would find in Diapaga.

Some even had sown and planted grains of millet or maize.

But due to the security context, the municipal authorities have decided to ban the cultivation of large cereals, in particular millet, corn, sorghum, etc. This is also the case near FDS and VDP checkpoints.

A decision which, according to some information, aims to prevent terrorists from hiding to commit their crimes because of the dense foliage.

It will also facilitate the deployment of combat forces on the ground.

Already, the populations have fallen back on speculations such as soybeans, groundnuts and beans.
