On a yellow background, a bird stands out, hiding a knife in its breast. The animal represents the family that nourishes and protects. But the curse can cause some men to turn against their families. Amadou Sanogo explains: «We ask young people today to stop glorifying things that can harm the community. The family has certain limits; it is there to advise and support you, but if you see it as a target, it can do nothing». This proverb reminds us of everyone's responsibility for the common good.
