Bassi:The residents of Saye village in Bassi, Zondoma province, have once again mobilized to carry out manual rehabilitation work on the road connecting their locality to Gourcy. This effort by the local community took place on Friday, November 6, 2026, as part of an ongoing initiative to improve the road's condition.

Their tasks included collecting and transporting earth, filling potholes, leveling the road, and cleaning its verges. Safiata Ouédraogo, a local women's leader, highlighted the initiative's impact on easing access for emergency medical services.

Alassane Zallé, representing the citizen watch of Saye, praised the community's dynamic efforts, noting that the improved road conditions would enhance traffic flow year-round and bolster socio-economic exchanges in the region.

The Village Development Advisor of Saye, Amadé Ouédraogo, also commended the display of solidarity, emphasizing its role in securing the route, reducing accident risks, and expediting rescue operations. The community's dedication to improving their living environment through collective action is evident in this second phase of road rehabilitation.
