STRIKE OF WOMEN DUE TO THE LACK OF CLEAN WATER

by | 11-04-2017 04:56





Here in the city of Abidjan lack of water is becoming a serious issue. As I stated in one of my previous articles water could be at the source of social tensions if this issue does not find solution as soon as possible.
In fact, the 6th March, in one of the commune of Abidjan named Yopougon located in the north of the City. This popular commune is one of the place where scarcity of clean water finds its best definition. People are unable to get clean water from their pipe, they can lacki clean water for at least three months and when they get access to it, then it is for only three days. In these conditions, they are obliged to walk for kilometers to buy a gallon of clean water. Therefore, the persistence of this situation resulting in the strike of the women of that commune whio gathered in front of the company in charge of  providing clean water in the country. They words were '' We want  water, we are tired''. One of the demonstrator who was approached revealed to the journalists that he no longer believe in the company that provides water and that is tired to wake up since several months without water. This situation of water is progressively getting many areas. 
Our government should take the time to understand that the sector of water could no longer be monopolized by only one company. We need several company that can work in the sector of water production and this is what will surely bring professionnalism and quality in the production of water in Ivory Coast. Otherwise, this strike could just be a warning of what could foolow if the problem is not resolved as soon as possible.
