Transition President Ibrahim Traoré officially launched the 20th edition of National Culture Week (SNC) on Saturday afternoon. Back to some highlights.
An almost full stadium to welcome the SNC after 5 years of absence .
The bowl of the Omnisport General Aboubacar Sangoulé Lamizana stadium was boiling on the evening of Saturday April 29, 2023, on the occasion of the official opening ceremony of the 20th edition of the SNC.
All the bleachers were almost full of people. Populations from Bobo-Dioulasso and elsewhere attended the mobilization.
The atmosphere went up a notch when the President of the Transition, Captain Ibrahim Traoré entered the scene, welcomed by a standing ovation. There was a clamor in unison from the audience each time the president's name was chanted.
Populations in harmony with the FDS
While the stadium was packed and the organization was making the technical rules for the actual start of the opening ceremony, soldiers occupying a wing of the stadium sang in unison a song glorifying captain Ibrahim Traoré.
The performance was greeted by the rest of the stadium with loud applause. This choir set the tone for a festive atmosphere at the stadium.
IB still the star
The President of the Transition has the gift of "raising the crowds" at each of his appearances in public.
His presence at the Aboubacar Sangoulé Lamizana omnisport stadium for the opening ceremony of the 20th edition of the SNC confirmed his great popularity.
The entry of his pickup into the stadium, his appearance out of the vehicle and the tour of the stadium he made to greet the crowd, each of his sequences resulted in a standing ovation from the crowd.
And Bobo-Dioulasso already has a song in his honor, a remix of the song ''Séwalé'' by Oumou Sangaré.
