Burkina Faso (i/bərˈkiːnə ˌfɑːsoʊ/ bər-KEE-nə FAH-soh; French: [buʁkina faso]) is a landlocked country in West Africa around 274,200 square kilometres (105,900 sq mi) in size. It is surrounded by six countries: Mali to the north; Niger to the east; Benin to the southeast; Togo and Ghana to the south; and Ivory Coast to the southwest. Its capital is Ouagadougou. As of 2014, its population was estimated at just over 17.3 million.
Formerly called the Republic of Upper Volta, the country was renamed "Burkina Faso" on 4 August 1984 by then-President Thomas Sankara. Residents of Burkina Faso are known as Burkinabé (/bərˈkiːnəbeɪ/ bər-KEE-nə-bay). French is an official language of government and business.
Before the conquest of what is now Burkina Faso by the French and other colonial powers during the late 19th century the country was ruled by various ethnic groups including the Mossi kingdoms. After gaining independence from France in 1960, the country underwent many governmental changes. Blaise Compaoré was the most recent president and ruled the country from 1987 until he was ousted from power by the popular youth upheaval of 31 October 2014. This resulted in a semi-presidential republic which lasted from October 2014 to September 2015. On 17 September 2015 the provisional government was in turn toppled by an apparent military coup d'état carried out by the Regiment of Presidential Security. On 24 September 2015, after pressure from the African Union, ECOWAS, and the armed forces, the military junta agreed to step down, and Michel Kafando was reinstated as Acting President.

In late October, the landlocked African nation of Burkina Faso saw the end of its president’s 27-year-long reign. A popular revolution terminated Blaise Compaoré’s term after he tried to change the constitution so that he could run for a fifth consecutive term. Cornered by an angry mob in his presidential palace, "Beau Blaise" fled the country along with his entourage as protesters torched the National Assembly and other symbols of the old regime. Now in exile, Compaoré is rumored to be living in luxury on the Ivory Coast. In Burkina Faso, a new transitional government has emerged, led by President Michel Kafando and his prime minister, Lieutenant-Colonel Yacouba Isaac Zida. VICE News went to the streets of Burkina Faso’s capital of Ouagadougou in the midst of the revolution to document...
There has been a coup in Burkina Faso. The presidential guard announced on television that it had dissolved what it described as the deviant transitional government. A member of the guard, General Gilbert Diendere, has been named as transitional leader. All borders have been closed and a curfew imposed. The head of parliament has called on the army to intervene in order to stop the action of what he said was a small group of military men. The presidential guard has fired warning shots in the capital Ouagadougou as crowds gather in protest. (Last year the long-serving president Blaise Compaore was toppled in a popular uprising.)

Burkina Faso is set to implement an array of economic reforms in a bid to bolster economic growth that has dipped since the November 2014 coup. The new government elected last December elaborated the plan at the 4th edition of the West African Business Development Forum. The event was organized to enable entrepreneurs explore business opportunities and gain business contacts. Burkina Faso agreed to invest in small and medium-sized enterprises by supporting them through financing for real development.
World Business: Burkina Faso is one of the world's poorest countries, with a GDP per capita of only 1200 dollars. The country is landlocked and relies heavily on agriculture which employs the vast majority of the population. But an agricultural initiative, with heavyweight backers, is using new technology to maximise efficiency and help lift people out of poverty. Reporter: Eckart Sager
The rapid rise in telecommunications across Africa has given rise to an equally big boom in the business of mobile phone repairs. In Burkina Faso's capital, many repairmen have set up shop near the main marketplace, helping service millions of phones in the west African state.
In Burkina Faso, improvised markets better known as spontaneous markets are slowly becoming the source of employment for thousands of unemployed youth in the country. But their business risks closure following crackdown by municipalities. Maria Galang reports
Entrepreneurship is often a long journey paved with hard work and patience. That could just be the story of a Burkinabe entrepreneur who has grown into a local brand in cashew nut processing. She is also using her success to lift the lives of poor women in her country.
Bronze sculptures stand out among the many handicrafts in Burkina Faso. From the melting of the metal to the finished product, everything is carefully done. The craftsmen say some works need to be moulded two or three times depending on the thickness. The making of sculptures with bronze begins with the recovery of bees wax. They are moulded with clay and covered with bronze. The bronze is melted and later allowed to get cool before the craftsmen get involve in the finishing process.

Marguerite’s long-term project is to open a big restaurant or start a training school to help young girls who want to go into the catering business. Especially those who did not get the opportunity to learn from their mother like her. She wants to valorise the Burkinabè culture through local dishes.

While visiting Burkina Faso with HOPE4FRICA, a non-profit micro-lending organization, we attended a church service in the Mossi Village of Kokologo. The service in a small church included much singing with an accompaniment of traditional African musical instraments complimented with modern ones. There were several choirs of women who led the congregation of about 500 people in a three hour service. Here is just a small sample of the congregation singing a traditional Christian hymn in their native language of Moore. March, 2014
While visiting Burkina Faso with HOPE4AFRICA, a micro lending organization, the welcoming celebrations consisted of much singing and music as well as one dance where the participants would bang into each other. From my seat I jumped into the fray and began dancing with one of the village women to the delight and uproarious laughter of all of the women. I'm told that men NEVER participate in these dances and that these women rarely have opportunity to laugh like this so my dancing with them was much appreciated by all. And it was fun and memorable for me! March, 2014

To contend with the risk of exclusion created by user fees, those implementing the Bamako Initiative (BI) were asked to organise exemption schemes for the indigent. But those exemption schemes were never put in place in Africa due to difficulties identifying the indigent. An action research was implemented to test the hypothesis that a community-based process for selecting beneficiaries of user-fee exemptions in an African environment of BI organisation is feasible and effective.

What is supposed to be a nice tour through the various museums in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso turns into a bit of a dud. The national museum is closed and the music museum is down for renovations. However, Ouagadougou is a nice place to just wander around even if it means not visiting any museums or doing normal touristy things. One of the things I take in on this day is the beautiful Grande Mosque in Ouagadougou which is absolutely brilliant. Next to the mosque, there are plenty of shops, vendors and heaps of activity. In general, Ouagadougou is about as comfortable as any capital city in west Africa.
