1. Noms de lieux :<\/strong>\u00a0Le Burkina Faso est le berceau d'un certain nombre de noms de lieux \u00e9tranges : Ouagadougou, Gorom-Gorom, Bobo-Dioulasso, Bouroum-Bouroum, Fada N'Gourma, Tin-Akof, Ouahigouya, Niangoloko et Rambo.<\/p>\n

2. Signification des noms :<\/strong>\u00a0La capitale du Burkina Faso est Ouagadougou, qui s'\u00e9crit \"Wogodogo\" en moor\u00e9 (la langue la plus parl\u00e9e du pays) et signifie litt\u00e9ralement \"vous \u00eates les bienvenus chez nous\". Le nom \"Burkina Faso\" signifie \"Pays des hommes honorables\" et les Burkinab\u00e9s sont \u00e9galement connus pour \u00eatre parmi les hommes les plus honn\u00eates d'Afrique.<\/p>\n

3. Noms historiques :<\/strong>\u00a0Le Burkina Faso \u00e9tait autrefois appel\u00e9 Haute-Volta fran\u00e7aise (1919 - 1958), puis R\u00e9publique de Haute-Volta (1958 - 1984), en raison de sa situation au nord du fleuve Volta, qui se jette dans le Ghana (au sud du Burkina Faso). En 1984, le pays a chang\u00e9 de nom pour devenir le Burkina Faso sous la pr\u00e9sidence du r\u00e9volutionnaire marxiste Thomas Sankara.<\/p>\n

4. La s\u00e9cheresse :<\/strong>\u00a0Le Burkina Faso est relativement souvent frapp\u00e9 par de longues p\u00e9riodes de s\u00e9cheresse. Les plus graves ont eu lieu en 1980, 1988, 1990 et 1995. En outre, le pays est aussi occasionnellement frapp\u00e9 par des \u00e9pid\u00e9mies et des inondations<\/p>\n

5. La fertilit\u00e9 :<\/strong>\u00a0Avec une moyenne de 6 enfants par femme, la population du Burkina Faso a l'un des taux de f\u00e9condit\u00e9 les plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s au monde.<\/p>\n

\"Fait

Fait : 80% de la population du Burkina Faso vit de l'agriculture de subsistance (c'est-\u00e0-dire de l'agriculture autosuffisante). Le coton est le principal produit agricole d'exportation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Les langues :<\/strong>\u00a0Le Burkina Faso \u00e9tant une ancienne colonie fran\u00e7aise, la langue officielle du pays est aujourd'hui le fran\u00e7ais. En outre, les langues suivantes sont parl\u00e9es : M\u00f2or\u00e9, Fulani, Lobi, Bobo, Mand\u00e9, Senufo, Gurunsi, Gurma et Touareg. La plupart de ces langues appartiennent \u00e0 la famille des langues soudanaises<\/p>\n

7. La population :<\/strong>\u00a0Le groupe ethnique le plus important au Burkina Faso est celui des Mossi, qui repr\u00e9sentent plus de 40% de la population du pays (environ 6,2 millions de personnes). Le reste de la population du Burkina Faso se compose de plus de 60 groupes ethniques diff\u00e9rents, notamment les Gurunsi, les Senufo, les Lobi, les Bobo et les Fulani.<\/p>\n

8. La pauvret\u00e9 :<\/strong>\u00a0Le Burkina Faso est l'un des pays les plus pauvres du monde, avec un PIB par habitant de 1 500 USD.\u00a0Indice de d\u00e9veloppement humain des Nations unies<\/a>\u00a0Le Burkina Faso est l'un des derniers pays<\/p>\n

9. Marchandises d'exportation :<\/strong>\u00a0Les deux principaux produits d'exportation du Burkina Faso sont l'or et le coton (le Burkina Faso est le plus grand producteur de coton d'Afrique). Environ 80% de la population vit de l'agriculture de subsistance, c'est-\u00e0-dire d'une agriculture autosuffisante o\u00f9 l'agriculteur ne produit que la nourriture n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 sa propre famille et \u00e9ventuellement \u00e0 quelques autres personnes dans la r\u00e9gion.<\/p>\n

10. Faible urbanisation :<\/strong>\u00a0Le Burkina Faso est l'une des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s les moins urbanis\u00e9es d'Afrique, la grande majorit\u00e9 de la population vivant encore dans les zones rurales. Les 5 plus grandes villes et leurs populations sont : Ouagadougou (1 181 702), Bobo Dioulasso (435 543), Koudougou (82 720), Banfora (72 144), Ouahigouya (70 957).<\/p>\n
