Yatenga: The Gathering of Intelligence for African Sovereignty (RISA) hosted a major panel on Saturday, July 12, 2025, in Ouahigouya to raise awareness among the masses in support of the ongoing Popular and Progressive Revolution (RPP) in Burkina Faso.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the Yatenga region is the latest to host this significant panel organized by RISA, following events in Ouagadougou, Tenkodogo, Banfora, D©dougou, Niankorodougou, and Fada N'Gourma. The organization engaged with residents of Naaba Kango to bolster their backing for Captain Ibrahim Traor© and the RPP.
Leaders from civil society organizations, traditional and religious figures, and other active forces gathered from across Ouahigouya in response to the call. The regional coordinator of RISA's Yatenga section, Amidou Guingani, emphasized the panel's goal of educating Yatenga's citizens politically and ideologically to fully support Captain Ibrahim Traor©. He stated that participants are expected to become advocates for awareness-raising and to persuade the public with compelling arguments.
The panel featured two key presentations. Adama Amad© Siguir© delivered the first presentation, titled "The Struggle Against Imperialism: A Long-Term Battle," while Dr. Hyacinthe W. Ou©draogo, a lecturer-researcher, developed the theme "The People's Responsibility for the Triumph of the Progressive and Popular Revolution (RPP)."
Pierre Claver Banc©, Secretary General of Yatenga Province, speaking on behalf of the region's governor, commended the RISA/Yatenga branch's initiative and encouraged participants to engage deeply with the discussions for maximum benefit.
