Farmlands along the Kubore River in the North East region have been completely submerged following the spillage of the Bagre dam coupled with some heavy rainfall in the area.
The annual spillage of the Bagre dam in Burkina Faso causes considerable damage to farms and properties in the Northern part of the country especially in the Upper East and North East regions.
A resident farmer in Kubore, Akudoku Jeremiah who spoke to Ahotor news said that this disaster is an indication that their months of hard labour and toils have gone down the drain.
