1. Stedsnavn:<\/strong>\u00a0Burkina Faso er hjemsted for noen s\u00e6re stedsnavn - blant annet: Ouagadougou, Gorom-Gorom, Bobo-Dioulasso, Bouroum-Bouroum, Fada N'Gourma, Tin-Akof, Ouahigouya, Niangoloko og Rambo.<\/p>\n

2. Betydningen av navn:<\/strong>\u00a0Hovedstaden i Burkina Faso er Ouagadougou, som staves \"Wogodogo\" p\u00e5 m\u00f2or\u00e9 (landets mest talte spr\u00e5k) og bokstavelig talt betyr \"du er velkommen her hos oss\". Navnet \"Burkina Faso\" betyr \"de hederlige menns land\", og burkinere er ogs\u00e5 kjent for \u00e5 v\u00e6re noen av de mest hederlige mennene i Afrika.<\/p>\n

3. Historiske navn:<\/strong>\u00a0Burkina Faso het tidligere Fransk \u00d8vre Volta (1919-1958) og senere Republikken \u00d8vre Volta (1958-1984) p\u00e5 grunn av beliggenheten nord for elven Volta, som renner ut i Ghana (s\u00f8r for Burkina Faso). I 1984 skiftet landet navn til Burkina Faso under den marxistiske revolusjon\u00e6re presidenten Thomas Sankara.<\/p>\n

4. T\u00f8rke:<\/strong>\u00a0Burkina Faso rammes relativt ofte av lange t\u00f8rkeperioder. De verste var i 1980, 1988, 1990 og 1995. I tillegg rammes landet av og til av epidemier og oversv\u00f8mmelser.<\/p>\n

5. Fruktbarhet:<\/strong>\u00a0Med et gjennomsnitt p\u00e5 6 barn per kvinne har befolkningen i Burkina Faso en av de h\u00f8yeste fruktbarhetsratene i verden.<\/p>\n

\"Fakta:
Kildeangivelse: TREEAID - Flickr.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fakta: 80% av befolkningen i Burkina Faso er avhengig av selvbergingsjordbruk (dvs. selvforsynt jordbruk). Bomull er den viktigste eksportvaren fra landbruket.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Spr\u00e5k:<\/strong>\u00a0P\u00e5 grunn av at Burkina Faso er en tidligere fransk koloni, er landets offisielle spr\u00e5k i dag fransk. I tillegg snakkes f\u00f8lgende spr\u00e5k: M\u00f2or\u00e9, fulani, lobi, bobo, mand\u00e9, senufo, gurunsi, gurma og tuareg. De fleste av disse spr\u00e5kene tilh\u00f8rer den sudanske spr\u00e5kfamilien.<\/p>\n

7. Befolkning:<\/strong>\u00a0Den st\u00f8rste etniske gruppen i Burkina Faso er mossiene, som utgj\u00f8r mer enn 40% av landets befolkning (ca. 6,2 millioner mennesker). Resten av Burkina Fasos befolkning best\u00e5r av mer enn 60 ulike etniske grupper - blant annet gurunsi, senufo, lobi, bobo og fulani.<\/p>\n

8. Fattigdom:<\/strong>\u00a0Burkina Faso er et av verdens fattigste land, med et BNP per innbygger p\u00e5 1500 USD.\u00a0FNs indeks for menneskelig utvikling<\/a>\u00a0Burkina Faso er et av de siste landene<\/p>\n

9. Eksport av varer:<\/strong>\u00a0De to viktigste eksportvarene i Burkina Faso er gull og bomull (Burkina Faso er Afrikas st\u00f8rste produsent av bomull). Rundt 80% av befolkningen lever av selvbergingsjordbruk - dvs. et selvforsynt jordbruk der bonden bare produserer nok mat til sin egen familie og eventuelt noen f\u00e5 andre i n\u00e6romr\u00e5det.<\/p>\n

10. Lav urbanisering:<\/strong>\u00a0Burkina Faso er et av de minst urbaniserte samfunnene i Afrika, og det store flertallet av befolkningen bor fortsatt p\u00e5 landsbygda. De 5 st\u00f8rste byene og deres innbyggertall er: Ouagadougou (1 181 702), Bobo Dioulasso (435 543), Koudougou (82 720), Banfora (72 144), Ouahigouya (70 957).<\/p>\n
