Podcast Title : “Growing Up in Conflict: Inside Burkina Faso’s Hidden Crisis” Featuring Salif from Burkina Faso

Description : In this powerful episode of the Kectil Youth Podcast, host Nabila Abbas sits down with Salif from Burkina Faso to explore what it truly means to grow up amid ongoing conflict. Moving beyond headlines, the conversation sheds light on the human side of insecurity since 2015—how violence, displacement, and uncertainty have reshaped daily life, education, and opportunities for young people. Salif shares his personal journey from hardship to purpose, his decision to pursue English education in a French-speaking country, and his vision to create a youth-centered English learning space that fosters growth, resilience, and opportunity. This episode is not just about crisis—it is a story of courage, leadership, and the determination to build a better future despite the odds.
