Découvrez LE BURKINA FASO : 10 FAITS INTÉRESSANTS À SAVOIR SUR CE PAYS OUEST AFRICAIN
Le Burkina Faso est un pays enclavé en Afrique de l'Ouest, entouré de six autres pays: le Mali, le Niger, le Bénin, le Togo, le Ghana et la Côte d'Ivoire. La langue officielle du Bourkina Faso est le français, bien que de nombreuses autres langues soient également parlées, notamment Mooré, Joula et Foulfouldé.
Le Burkina Faso était à l'origine connu sous le nom de la Haute-Volta, un nom qui a été donné au pays par des colonisateurs français, à la fin du 19e siècle. Le nom Haute Volta faisait référence à l'emplacement du pays, qui est situé le long des tronçons supérieurs de la rivière Volta.
L'histoire du Bourkina Faso remonte au 11ème siècle, lorsque les royaumes de Mossi ont été établis dans la région. Le peuple Mossi était des agriculteurs et des guerriers qualifiés, et leurs royaumes se sont développés pour devenir parmi les plus grands, et les plus puissants d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Ils ont échangé avec des tribus voisines, et étaient connus pour leurs industries en terrassement et textile. À la fin du XIXe siècle, le Burkina Faso est devenu un protectorat français, et les royaumes Mossi ont été progressivement incorporés dans l'empire colonial français. Après une longue lutte pour l'indépendance, le Burkina Faso a acquis sa liberté de France, en 1960.
Le premier président du pays, Maurice Yaméogo, a établi un État à parti unique, mais il a été renversé lors d'un coup d'État en 1966. Dans les années qui ont suivi, le Bourkina Faso a traversé une série de coups d'État et de bouleversements politiques. Le capitaine Thomas Sankara a saisi le pouvoir en 1983, et s'est lancé dans un programme de réformes sociales et économiques, notamment la redistribution des terres, l'éducation gratuite et les soins de santé, et une campagne contre la corruption. Le gouvernement de Sankara était populaire, parmi les jeunes et les pauvres, mais il a également été critiqué pour son autoritarisme et ses violations des droits de l'homme.
Sankara a été assassinée lors d'un coup d'État en 1987, et son ancien ami et allié, Blaise Commpaoré, a pris le pouvoir. Compaoré a gouverné le pays pendant 27 ans, pendant lesquels le Bourkina Faso est devenu un acteur clé de la politique régionale. Compaoré a été renversé dans un soulèvement populaire en 2014, et le pays a depuis traversé une période de transition politique et de consolidation. Aujourd'hui, le Bourkina Faso est une société dynamique avec un riche patrimoine culturel, et un engagement envers la démocratie et les droits de l'homme.

map of the Ivory Coast [ Africa ]
Ivory Coast, also known as Côte d'Ivoire, officially the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, is a country on the southern coast of West Africa. Its political capital is Yamoussoukro, in the centre of the country; while its largest city and economic centre is the port city of Abidjan. It borders Guinea to the northwest, Liberia to the west, Mali to the northwest, Burkina Faso to the northeast, Ghana to the east, and the Gulf of Guinea (Atlantic Ocean) to the south. Its official language is French, but local indigenous languages are also widely used, including Bété, Baoulé, Dioula, Dan, Anyin, and Cebaara Senufo. In total, there are around 78 different languages spoken in Ivory Coast. The country has large populations of the adherents of Christianity, Islam and various indigenous religions.
Before its colonization by Europeans, Ivory Coast was home to several states, including Gyaaman, the Kong Empire and Baoulé. The area became a protectorate of France in 1843 and was consolidated as a French colony in 1893 amid the European scramble for Africa. It achieved independence in 1960, led by Félix Houphouët-Boigny, who ruled the country until 1993. Relatively stable by regional standards, Ivory Coast established close political economic ties with its West African neighbours while maintaining close relations with the West, especially France. Its stability was diminished by a coup d'état in 1999, then two civil wars—first between 2002 and 2007 and again during 2010–2011. It adopted a new constitution in 2000.
Ivory Coast is a republic with strong executive power vested in its president. Through the production of coffee and cocoa, it was an economic powerhouse in West Africa during the 1960s and 1970s, then experienced an economic crisis in the 1980s, contributing to a period of political and social turmoil. It was not until around 2014 that its gross domestic product again reached the level of its peak in the 1970s. In 2020, Ivory Coast was the world's largest exporter of cocoa beans and had high levels of income for its region. In the 21st century, the Ivorian economy has been largely market-based; it still relies heavily on agriculture, with smallholder cash-crop production predominating mapa de Costa de Marfil Africa , Cote d Ivorie Ivory Coast is a country of western sub-Saharan Africa. It borders Liberia and Guinea in the west, Mali and Burkina Faso in the north, Ghana in the east, and the Gulf of Guinea (Atlantic Ocean) in the south. The country lies between latitudes 4° and 11°N, and longitudes 2° and 9°W. Around 64.8% of the land is agricultural land; arable land amounted to 9.1%, permanent pasture 41.5%, and permanent crops 14.2%. Water pollution is one of the biggest issues that the country is currently facing.

Districts of Ivory Coast
Since 2011, Ivory Coast has been administratively organised into 12 districts plus two district-level autonomous cities. The districts are divided into 31 regions; the regions are divided into 108 departments; and the departments are divided into 510 sub-prefectures. In some instances, multiple villages are organised into communes. The autonomous districts are not divided into regions, but they do contain departments, sub-prefectures, and communes.
Since 2011, governors for the 12 non-autonomous districts have not been appointed. As a result, these districts have not yet begun to function as governmental entities.

Exploring Côte d’Ivoire Abandoned Capital “Yamoussoukro”
After a wonderful drive with a hitchhiker, I am back with Guy as we explore the beautiful city of Yamoussoukro. In this video, we're going to take a look at Yamoussoukro, a small town in the north of Ivory Coast. We'll explore the village and have my first impressions of it.
If you're looking for a fun and exciting trip to Ivory Coast, be sure to check out Yamoussoukro! This town is full of friendly people and beautiful scenery.
Yamoussoukro is the capital city of Côte d'Ivoire, in West Africa. It's inland, northwest of the country’s economic and cultural hub, the coastal city of Abidjan. It's known for the enormous Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro, with its stained-glass windows and towering dome. The city is the birthplace of 20th-century president Félix Houphouët-Boigny, whose former palace has a crocodile-filled lagoon.
