Ouagadougou: The Movement for the Culture of Peace and Love of the Homeland (MPAP) announced on Saturday in Boussouma the holding of the 6th edition of the Ambassadors of Peace Awards (APA 2026), scheduled for July 30 and 31, under the theme: "Facing security challenges, love of the homeland as a force of unity and social cohesion."

According to Burkina Information Agency, Boussouma was chosen to host this conference because of its attachment to traditional values and its symbolism of unity.
