Burkina Faso
is a landlocked nation in West Africa. It is surrounded by six countries:
Mali to the north, Niger to the east, Benin to the south east, Togo
and Ghana to the south, and Côte d'Ivoire to the south west. Formerly
the Republic of Upper Volta, it was renamed on August 4, 1984 by
President Thomas Sankara to mean "the land of upright people"
(or "upright land") in Mossi and Dioula, the major native
languages of the country. Independence from France came in 1960.
Governmental instability during the 1970s and 1980s was followed
by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Several hundred thousand
farm workers migrate south every year to Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana
in search of paid labour. The inhabitants of Burkina Faso are known
as Burkinabè or Burkinabé.
