1. Plaatsnamen:<\/strong>\u00a0Burkina Faso heeft een aantal eigenzinnige plaatsnamen, waaronder: Ouagadougou, Gorom-Gorom, Bobo-Dioulasso, Bouroum-Bouroum, Fada N'Gourma, Tin-Akof, Ouahigouya, Niangoloko en Rambo.<\/p>\n

2. Betekenissen van namen:<\/strong>\u00a0De hoofdstad van Burkina Faso is Ouagadougou, wat in het M\u00f2or\u00e9 (de meest gesproken taal van het land) 'Wogodogo' wordt gespeld en letterlijk 'je bent welkom bij ons' betekent. De naam 'Burkina Faso' betekent \"Land van Eervolle Mannen\" en de Burkinabe staan ook bekend als de eerlijkste mannen van Afrika.<\/p>\n

3. Historische namen:<\/strong>\u00a0Burkina Faso heette vroeger Frans Opper-Volta (1919 - 1958) en later de Republiek Opper-Volta (1958 - 1984) vanwege de ligging ten noorden van de rivier de Volta, die uitmondt in Ghana (ten zuiden van Burkina Faso). In 1984 veranderde het land zijn naam in Burkina Faso onder de marxistische revolutionaire president Thomas Sankara.<\/p>\n

4. Droogte:<\/strong>\u00a0Burkina Faso wordt relatief vaak getroffen door lange perioden van droogte. De ergste waren in 1980, 1988, 1990 en 1995. Daarnaast wordt het land ook af en toe getroffen door epidemie\u00ebn en overstromingen.<\/p>\n

5. Vruchtbaarheid:<\/strong>\u00a0Met gemiddeld 6 kinderen per vrouw heeft de bevolking van Burkina Faso een van de hoogste vruchtbaarheidscijfers ter wereld.<\/p>\n

Feit: 80% van de bevolking in Burkina Faso is afhankelijk van zelfvoorzienende landbouw. Katoen is de belangrijkste landbouwexport<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Talen:<\/strong>\u00a0Omdat Burkina Faso een voormalige Franse kolonie is, is Frans de offici\u00eble taal van het land. Daarnaast worden de volgende talen gesproken: M\u00f2or\u00e9, Fulani, Lobi, Bobo, Mand\u00e9, Senufo, Gurunsi, Gurma en Toeareg. De meeste van deze talen behoren tot de Soedanese taalfamilie.<\/p>\n

7. Bevolking:<\/strong>\u00a0De grootste etnische groep in Burkina Faso zijn de Mossi, die meer dan 40% van de bevolking van het land uitmaken (ongeveer 6,2 miljoen mensen). De rest van de bevolking van Burkina Faso bestaat uit meer dan 60 verschillende etnische groepen, met name de Gurunsi, Senufo, Lobi, Bobo en Fulani.<\/p>\n

8. Armoede:<\/strong>\u00a0Burkina Faso is een van de armste landen ter wereld, met een BBP per hoofd van de bevolking van 1.500 dollar.\u00a0VN-index voor menselijke ontwikkeling<\/a>\u00a0Burkina Faso is een van de laatste landen<\/p>\n

9. Exportgoederen:<\/strong>\u00a0De twee belangrijkste exportproducten in Burkina Faso zijn goud en katoen (Burkina Faso is de grootste katoenproducent van Afrika). Ongeveer 80% van de bevolking is afhankelijk van zelfvoorzienende landbouw - d.w.z. zelfvoorzienende landbouw waarbij de boer alleen genoeg voedsel produceert voor zijn eigen gezin en mogelijk een paar anderen in de lokale omgeving.<\/p>\n

10. Lage urbanisatie:<\/strong>\u00a0Burkina Faso heeft een van de minst verstedelijkte samenlevingen in Afrika. De overgrote meerderheid van de bevolking woont nog steeds op het platteland. De 5 grootste steden en hun bevolking zijn: Ouagadougou (1.181.702), Bobo Dioulasso (435.543), Koudougou (82.720), Banfora (72.144), Ouahigouya (70.957).<\/p>\n
