Private citizens in Ouagadougou are responding to calls for patriotism by helping fund road construction and paving in the capital. Many of them are also donating to internally displaced people, and some are making their contributions anonymously.

The gestures of solidarity deserve recognition, the column says, praising everyone who has helped improve the city's roads. It closes the tribute with a simple message of thanks: "The nation will repay you."

The column's criticism is directed at repeat customs offenders. Despite awareness campaigns by customs services, some traders continue trying to evade inspections and act as though they can outsmart the authorities.

The advice is direct: anyone who wants to conduct business freely should comply with the regulations in force.

The nation will repay you.
