Ouagadougou: The deputy in the Transitional Legislative Assembly (ALT) Youssouf Ouédraogo offered on April 1 to the Northern Governorate, food and fuel to the communal coordination of volunteers for the defense of the homeland (VDP) of Ouahigouya, noted an AIB journalist.

In view of the multifaceted needs of the troops in the theater of operations, Deputy Ouédraogo, with his own funds, with the support of the President of the ALT Dr. Ousmane Bougma, is part of an active solidarity approach in favor of the VDP. For the occasion and while awaiting other initiatives, the ALT parliamentarian Ouédraogo spent 2 million FCFA which were used to acquire 50 bags of rice, 05 bags of salt, 50 cans of oil, 05 boxes of Nescafé, 05 cartons of tomato stalks, 05 cartons of sugar and fuel vouchers.

The donation ceremony took place in front of the Governor of the Northern region Issouf Ouédraogo. MP Youssouf Ouédraogo expressed the merits of this initiative by making it clear that the commune of Ouahigouya is sometimes going
through difficult times due to insecurity.

The Chief Warrant Officer ki Dieudonné of the 12th Commando Infantry Regiment of Ouahigouya and representative of the provincial coordinator of the VDP of Yatenga expressed his satisfaction on behalf of the beneficiaries for the gesture of the deputy.

‘We say thank you for this initiative and hope that God bless all those who always have a thought for the men in the field. It is a gesture that galvanizes the fighters and we are grateful for it,’ he said on behalf of the beneficiaries.

For the donor, this gesture is only the beginning of a series of initiatives for the benefit of the fighting forces who constantly monitor the security of the populations of the commune of Ouahigouya and its hinterland.

‘The needs of the VDP are enormous and it is a duty for us to support them for a rapid liberation of municipal territories. I appeal to all those of good will in the Northern region in their respective positions for unfailing mobilization for the maintenance of our f
ighting forces. I hope that with the heroic work of our VDPs in the theater of operations, our populations will return to their villages by the start of the rainy season to go about their business in peace,’ said MP Youssouf Ouédraogo.
