Thomas Sankara was a brilliant leader. Hell, along with Red Rosa, he's one of the few that even Tankies like. Frankly, Sankara was incredible. He prioritized Woman's rights. He banned female genitalia Mutilation, Forced Marriage, Polygamy, and lived in realitive squalor; donating much of his profits to the poor, taking only what he needed. He worked with the people, and helped the poor. A brilliant figure.

Mandeka and Bambara are almost the same. it's a langage spoken in the West of Burkina, in Mali, Ivory Coast, Guinea... with little variation depending on the region. And football (wich you call soccer) is still the most popular sport by far. no one watches rugby over here. The political transition was troubled by a military coup that lasted only two weeks after the people and most of the army opposed to it. so the elections were held in December instead of November, and won by Roch Kabore, a former parliament speaker.

Does the flag represent the country's geography?: red desert in the north, green forest in the south, and the big capital city in the middle

Hey Barby, I watched every video of you from the first one till the one about Bulgaria in 2 days and I love them all.I am going to do a important english presentation in 5/6 weeks (I live in germany) and I think that your channel is a good topic for it.So here is my question: Can I use screenshots from the videos for the presentation?There are only two teachers in front of me and it would make it much easier. Looking forward to new videos of you (especially germany and turkey) and just stay as you are now.I already learned a lot :D

Prehistoric period As for all of West Africa, Burkina Faso has experienced very early settlement, including hunter-gatherers in the northwestern part of the country (12,000 to 5,000 years before the Christian era), and of which tools (scrapers, chisels and tips) were discovered in 1973. Sedentarisation appeared between 3,600 and 2,600 before the Christian era with farmers, whose traces of construction have allowed to consider a relatively durable installation. The use of iron, ceramics and polished stone developed between 1500 and 1000 BC, as well as the emergence of spiritual concerns, as evidenced by the remains of burial discovered. Remains attributed to the Dogons have been discovered in the North Central, North and North-West regions. But they left the area between the fifteenth century and the sixteenth century to settle in the cliff of Bandiagara. In addition, remains of walls are located in southwestern Burkina Faso (and Côte d'Ivoire), but their builders have not been able to be identified with certainty. The ruins of Loropéni, located near the borders of Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana, are now recognized World Heritage site.
