Nando Governor Adama Jean-Yves BÉRÉ brought together CORESUR in Koudougou to prepare for the reception and assistance of Burkinabè nationals returning from Guinea. The region is to organise their transport and mobilise associations, civil society organisations and economic operators, according to the Burkina Information Agency.
Nando Regional Governor Adama Jean-Yves Béré brought together members of the Nando Regional Council for Emergency Relief and Rehabilitation in Koudougou on Monday 9 November to prepare for the reception of Burkinabè nationals forced to leave Guinea, according to the Burkina Information Agency. The meeting was intended to determine the logistical arrangements for their transport, reception and care, particularly for those working in artisanal gold mining.
The governor called on civil society organisations, associations, economic operators and individuals to voluntarily contribute to the reception and assistance operations. He called for the mobilisation of all actors in the region to ensure care for the nationals concerned.
The regional preparations follow Burkina’s launch of arrangements for the return of thousands of nationals expelled from Guinea, announced on 4 November. The mobilisation in Nando is a regional implementation of this reception operation.
