Nouna:Koosin Authorities in Koosin province are mobilizing resources to facilitate the return of 17 nationals expelled from Guinea. The High Commissioner of the province, Noufo Dembélé, who also serves as the President of the Provincial Emergency Relief and Rehabilitation Committee (COPROSUR), presided over an awareness meeting in Nouna to address the situation.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the meeting emphasized the coordination of transport for these individuals, aged 12 to 25, to return to Nouna before proceeding to their respective localities. It was noted that at a national level, Bobo-Dioulasso has reportedly received 19,944 people from over 500 nationalities, with around 100,000 more waiting to be repatriated.

Transport companies Farafina, TSR, and TSF have agreed in principle to support the movement of these nationals to their places of origin. The High Commissioner mentioned that the figures could change and highlighted Koosin province's role as a transit zone due to its proximity to Mali. Currently, 601 people have been registered in the province, including 27 from Djibasso, with some returning independently by motorcycle.

Registered individuals are heading to various destinations, including Ouagadougou and Kongoussi. Provincial authorities have urged citizen watch associations and the local population to support the reception system, adhere to departure schedules, and show solidarity and respect towards the nationals during their reintegration process.
