Les jeunes passent leurs temps à boire du thé, à jouer au football, à faire du kankourang et à organiser des soirées dansantes. Zéro emploi...
Six à cinq mois de pluies mais les jeunes ne veulent pas d'investir dans l'agriculture, ce sont les jeunes d'autres régions ou des pays frontaliers que l'on rencontre dans la brousse.
