Following various awards at the latest FESPACO Panafrican Film and TV Festival in Ouagadougou, in February 2017 the Intégration Africaine of the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), the Conseil de l’Entente of Félix Houphouët-Boigny and Paul Robson ), the film was a great success among the public at the Film Festival in Angoulême in July 2017.

513) Dengue: “ Koudougou The Beauty” mourns its dead.
The dengue fever in Burkina Faso has caused the death of at least 13 people according to the death toll published by the Health Ministry on October 25.
This is probably correct. But I sincerely wish that the Ministry would explain how it has come to speak of 13 deaths. How have they been counted? Where did they happen? In a hospital in Ouagadougou? At least 13 deaths !
