In place of the nation of Ouagadougou on July 1, 2023, a crowd is mobilized to support the transition. While the Place de la Nation fills up little by little, an unconditional crowd is already there. She is held spellbound by an unleashed announcer perched on a podium.
What’s next after this ad
“Yes to the re-reading of the constitution. No to French policy in Burkina Faso. No to Western politics. Only the fight liberates”, is what is stamped on a poster in large characters under which is drawn up a podium. Around this podium, an impatient public. The announcer on the podium keeps the crowd in suspense through slogans and watchwords.
“Make some noise for the VDPs. Make some noise for the Dozos. When it comes to homeland, the Dozos aren’t having fun. Dozo Dozo Dozo… Make some noise for the FDS, make some noise for the traditional chiefs. There’s something important we forgot. What a lèse-majesté crime”, laments the announcer before shouting: “Make some noise for the Koglweogo. Make some noise, make some noise”.
“Now there is someone big and who is it? asks the announcer to the crowd before chanting aloud: “Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Captain, Captain…” Music, whistles and noise from the public make the Place de la Nation vibrate while sporadically, it fills with sympathizers and supporters of the transition.
