Indeed, we lead the prayer with our Muslim co-religionists and we invite the heads of villages and communities, the directors and heads of services to create a symbiosis, a beautiful atmosphere in the sole interest of strengthening social cohesion and living together. here in Duékoué, and throughout Guémon,” he said. Before pointing out that their role as prefectural authority, representative of the Head of State, is to promote living together, cohesion between communities. Ibrahima Cissé indicated that this is an articulation of his vision of living together, and meant that the collective breaking of the fast, like fitness walking, the monthly color salute ceremony, serves to bring the populations of Duékoué closer together. While believing he knows that “when people are close, it can break down prejudices, a lot of barriers and it avoids, above all, a lot of unnecessary conflicts.” Ramadan 2023 began on Thursday and will end on Friday, April 21.
