Street pollution in Burkina Faso: Water police toughen up the tone in Ouagadougou.

The Water and Environment Police and the Regional Directorate of Water and Sanitation (DREAE) of the Centre launched this Thursday, July 31, 2025, an extensive control and awareness-raising operation to curb urban insanity.

This is the end of tolerance for harmful practices like dumping sewage on public roads, connecting latrines to guttering, etc. Today's operation concerns Paglayiri and Gounghin quarters of Ouagadougou.

In Paglayiri district, the situation is disastrous. Streets are flooded with sewage giving out foul odors.

This joint initiative aims to enforce Decree No. 2023-1248, which entered into force in October 2023 which regulates sanitation.

Crews scour critical sites to verify for well-being and compliance, and ensure facilities meet standards.

Beyond sanctions, the operation focuses on raising awareness among households and establishment owners.

The goal is to inform them about their obligations to ensure a healthier environment for all. Corrective measures will be taken if necessary. - Burkina24.

DAY 29 NIG2USA ON BICYCLE 🇺🇲
Earlier this morning, I left Takoradi, the heartbeat of Ghana’s Oil City, with strength in my soul and purpose on my pedals.

A huge thank you to Boison Lodge Takoradi, your hospitality gave me the rest I truly needed. You didn’t just offer me a room, you offered me kindness. I’ll never forget it 🙏🏽

As I ride on, the next city after Takoradi is Elubo , the last Ghanaian town before I cross into Côte d’Ivoire, my next country.

The road is still long, the sun still hot, but the dream burns hotter.
I'm still cycling to the USA, raising awareness and support for orphans, IDPs, and vulnerable souls across Africa.

Let’s keep pushing.
Let’s keep telling the world our story.

TOGETHER WE RIDE
TOGETHER WE RISE.

VIVA AFRICA .
