This Tuesday’s publications echo the fight against AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the commemoration of the 37th anniversary of the assassination of Captain Thomas Sankara.
“October 15, 1987: Immortal Thomas Sankara,” is the headline of the state daily Sidwaya.
According to the newspaper, 37 years after his death, Captain Thomas Sankara remains alive in the minds of Burkinabe youth, but also more generally in Africa.
The private newspaper, Le Pays, reporting the words of the Secretary General of the Trade Union of Workers of Burkina Faso (USTB), Ernest Abdoulaye Ouédraogo, informs that Captain Sankara had a passionate love for his people.
According to the colleague, quoting a student, Moussa Ouattara, the ideas of the father of the revolution constitute the remedy against the ills from which Burkina Faso suffers.
The dean of private dailies, L’Observateur Paalga, speaks of the “Sankaraist revival” in the test of integrity regarding Thomas Sankara.
For the Obs., in its column “Look a
t the news”, it notes that Sankara and his ideals will remain eternal, but the country still struggles to find “true, disembodied, ascetic Sankaraists” who disdain material comfort.
In another section, L’Observateur Paalga mentions in its headline “Fight against AIDS and STIs: More than 115 million CFA francs mobilized for the benefit of four structures”.
According to the newspaper, the check presentation ceremony was presided over yesterday early afternoon by the chief of staff of the President of Faso, Captain Anderson Médah.
Sidwaya returns to the beneficiaries of the 115 million 529 thousand FCFA.
These are the Ministerial Committees for the Fight against AIDS of the Ministries in charge of Defense (CMLS-Defense), the one in charge of National Education (CMLS-MEBAPLN), the National Council of the Informal Economy CNEI and the Association Action citoyenne et communautaire pour la résistance et développement (ACCORD) of the Centre-North.
