Transnational Issue Introduction Burkina Faso Background: Independence from France came to Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) in 1960. Repeated military coups during the 1970s and 1980s were followed by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Burkina Faso's high population density and limited natural resources result in poor economic prospects for the majority of its citizens. Every year, several hundred thousand seasonal farm workers seek employment in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana and are adversely affected by instability in those regions.

Your Gateways Quick Links Burkina Faso Geography and Climate Between the Sahara desert and the rain forests near the western African coast, lies the Sahel, a geographic zone of about 5,000 kilometers long and 300 kilometers wide, located along the southern fringes of Africa's Sahara desert. This semi-arid region of Africa extends from Senegal on the west, through Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria and Sudan, to Ethiopia on the east. Burkina Faso sits at the edge of the Sahel, locked in by Benin, Togo and Ghana to the southeast, Ivory Coast to the south, Mali to the west and Niger to the north. About twice the size of Colorado, it is one of the smallest territories in West Africa, but one of the most heavily populated. The climate in Burkina Faso is similar to that of other Sahel countries, featuring two distinct seasons: the dry season lasts from November until May and the wet season from June through October. The hottest time of the year falls between March and June, and dusty Harmattan winds blow incessantly between the months of December and February. Most of Burkina is flat and arid. The vegetation thins out to the north into sandy dunes as it approaches the Sahara. The south opens into forests and sugar cane fields; and in the east there are rolling plateaus and green woodlands. There are three major rivers of Burkina Faso: the Mahoun, Nazinonm and the Nakanbe.

Burkina Faso Africa GEOGRAPHY Burkina Faso is a landlocked Sahel country that shares borders with six nations. It lies between the Sahara Desert and the Gulf of Guinea, south of the loop of the Niger River. The land is green in the south, with forests and fruit trees, and desert in the north. Most of central Burkina Faso lies on a savanna plateau, 198- 305 meters (650-1,000 ft.) above sea level, with fields, brush, and scattered trees. Burkina Faso's game preserves-the most important of which are Arly, Nazinga, and Park W-contain lions, elephants, hippopotamus, monkeys, warthog, and antelopes. Tourism is not well developed. Annual rainfall varies from about 100 centimeters (40 in.) in the south to less than 25 centimeters (10 in.) in the extreme north and northeast, where hot desert winds accentuate the dryness of the region. Burkina Faso has three distinct seasons: warm and dry (November-March); hot and dry (March-May); and hot and wet (June- October). Rivers are not navigable. Area: 274,200 sq. km. (106,000 sq. mi); about the size of Colorado.
