Since 1960 there have been five coups, and political power has passed back and forth between civilian and military governments. In 1983 Captain Thomas Sankara led a successful military coup and established a reforming government which gave the country its current name. Sankara was killed in a revolt led by his second-in-command, Captain Blaise Compaoré. Compaoré became the new President, a position which was confirmed in the 1991

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.

Benin
Official name: Republic of Benin
Independence from France: 1960
In 1625 indigenous slave traders, known as the Fon, founded the kingdom of Dahomey. They subsequently conquered the neighboring kingdoms of Dan and Allada and extended their kingdom to the coast near Porto Novo. A trading post was set up in 1857 by the French at Grand-Popo. The Dahomey King, Behanzin, was defeated by the French when conflict broke out following dispute by the French against continued Dahomey slavery. In 1892 Dahomey became a French protectorate and was absorbed into French West Africa in 1904. Independence from the French was gained in 1960 and the country was renamed Benin in 1975.
Burkina
Also known as Burkina Faso
Independence from France: 1960
From the 16th to the early 19th century this was the kingdom of Ouagadougo, one of the Mossi empire. In the early 19th century the Mossi empire broke down and was subject to almost uninterrupted war for 50 years prior to the arrival of the French. At the end of the 19th century the great Dyula warlord, Samori Ture, was expelled by the French and it became part of French West Africa. Independence from the French was achieved in 1960 and the country was named Upper Volta. The country was renamed Burkina in 1984.

Building on Islamic Fulani The Mossi kingdoms of Yatenga and Ouagadougou, in what is today Burkina Faso, disintegrate. The agrarian Lobi peoples migrate into the Upper Volta region from present-day Ghana. Due to the British- and French-enforced ban on the international slave trade, slave exports in the region of Senegambia (present-day Senegal and the Gambia) are replaced by local products such as gum, gold, hides, ivory, beeswax, and groundnuts. By the 1830s, the average annual value of gum exports is five times what the slave trade was at its peak. Political stability resulting from the establishment of Islamic states in the Futa Jallon region allows Sudanic peoples access to the West African coast in Senegambia and what is today Guinea and Guinea-Bissau, influencing coastal peoples such as the Baga and Nalu. Sculptural forms and styles associated with inland cultures are integrated into the artistic practices of local peoples. Reflecting the presence of foreign populations are masks such as dimba created by the Baga and Nalu peoples that appear to represent Fulbe women originating from the Futa Jallon area. Other works by Baga and Nalu sculptors exhibit stylistic elements associated with Bamana art in present-day Mali such as horizontally oriented masks representing composites of animal forms.

Burkina Faso
History and Government
History: Burkina Faso was once a part of the Great Mossi Empire, one of the strongest of ancient African kingdoms. The Mossi kingdom was established by invaders from the south, who displaced the Bobo, Lobi and Gurunsi tribes that occupied the region at the time. The region itself is in the path of several historic migrations of population. The Mossi Empire was still in place when the whole region was annexed by the French in 1896. After a period as part of the colony of Upper Senegal-Niger, the territory was reorganised as the separate colony of Upper Volta in 1919. It was then carved up between Côte d’Ivoire, Niger and ‘French Sudan’ in 1932, only to be reconstituted as an independent entity in 1947, as an ‘Overseas Territory’ of France. Internal self-government was granted in 1957, with full independence (as Upper Volta) following three years later. The early years of independence were largely dominated by the military, notably the regime of General Sangoul J Lamizana, who ousted the civilian government of Maurice Yameogo in 1966 and ruled until 1980. Lamizana was followed by another military government, followed in turn by a rebellion in 1983, which brought a group of young radical officers to power under the leadership of Thomas Sankara.

History Not much is known about C´te d'Ivoire prior to the arrival of European ships in the 1460s. The major ethnic groups came relatively recently from neighbouring areas: the Kru people migrated from Liberia around 1600; the Senoufo and Lubi moved southward from Burkina Faso and Mali. It wasn't until the 18th and 19th centuries that the Akan people, including the Baoul©, migrated from Ghana into the eastern area of the country and the Malink© migrated from Guinea into the northwest. Compared to neighbouring Ghana, C´te d'Ivoire suffered little from the slave trade. European slaving and merchant ships preferred other areas along the coast with better harbours. France took an interest in the 1840s, enticing local chiefs to grant French commercial traders a monopoly along the coast. Thereafter, the French built naval bases to keep out non-French traders and began a systematic conquest of the interior. They accomplished this only after a long war in the 1890s against Mandinka forces, mostly from Gambia. Guerrilla warfare by the Baoul© and other eastern groups continued until 1917. The French had one overriding goal: to stimulate the production of exports. Coffee, cocoa and palm oil crops were soon planted along the coast. C´te d'Ivoire stood out as the only West African country with a sizeable population of 'settlers'; elsewhere in West and Central Africa, the French and English were largely bureaucrats. As a result, a third of the cocoa, coffee and banana plantations were in the hands of French citizens and a hated forced-labour system became the backbone of the economy.

Culture and History in the Volta-Bani Anticolonial War

From Choice:
From The International Journal of African Historical Studies
One of the last survivors of the Volta-Bani anticolonial war of 1915-1916 passed away two years ago. His name was Tamini Yambore, after the forest in which he was born. His mother had fled the colonial onslaught that razed her village. Many of the villages in this region of southwestern Burkina Faso were burned to the ground during the anticolonial war. These events are still marked on the collective consciousness of villagers; Tamini Yambore and others were the living repositories of that consciousness. But unfortunately with the deaths of people like Yambore those memories are fading away. The war has also largely been disregarded in academic and education circles as well, despite its size, the resulting massive displacement and mortality, and the changes it brought to the political and social landscape of West Africa. Saul and Royer's exciting book redresses this gap in an important analysis of the origins, organization, and motivations of the actors in this war.
French colonial powers generally assumed that the conflict began in reaction to a conscription campaign; however, the authors describe several events that precipitated the initial uprising and its spread. Saul and Royer argue that the shadow of World War I loomed directly over the conflict. As a response to the war, France pulled out personnel from their West African colonies, lessening their presence in the Volta region, where colonization was fairly incomplete to begin with. This resulted in local leaders' perception of French colonization as weak and waning, and thus vulnerable to attack.
