Diapangou:Gourma The active forces of the commune of Diapangou mobilized on Saturday, October 24, 2026, for a sanitation operation at the central market as part of the weekly initiative "One Hour of Citizenship."

According to Burkina Information Agency, the operation was chaired by Jean Youma, President of the special delegation (PDS) of the commune of Diapangou, and was initiated following a request from two Child Development Centers (CDE) aiming to contribute to the market's sanitation.

The mobilization included representatives from the town hall, citizen watch, the office of the Management Committee (COGES) of the central market, as well as Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and local associations.

Additionally, the initiative received support from two churches that assisted the CDE.

Participants were thanked for their dedication and encouraged to continue their efforts in maintaining the cleanliness and prestige of the municipality.
