The stalls and stalls in the Badalabougou market are not very full. Not because customers flocked to the products, but because merchants still suffer from a lack of supply due to sanctions issued by the Economic Community of West African States (Cédéao).
This is the case with Tidiane Tangara, who is sitting in front of her toy store: “Many of the products I sell cannot be found. There is a real shortcoming, a very important shortcoming. Despite the money I send abroad to buy my products, it takes a long time to get through. ”
Go back to work normally
Wagué sells him plastic bags that are used to pack all kinds of items, it is a flagship product from the Bamako markets. But unlike usual, his business is somewhat deadly: “At the moment, we are doing well. So now, if the sanctions are lifted, we can work normally, Al-hamdoulillahi (please God). ”
Anxiety began to win Fatoumata Coulibaly, she is now reassured to officially learn about reopening borders: “We could not have endured it anymore because we are dependent on products coming from outside. If the stocks had run out, I would have had myself in big trouble. ”
Following the lifting of ECOWAS sanctions, traders in this market say they are satisfied. Everyone wants products from the sub-area to be readily available again.
