Country Information on Burkina Faso History/Politics The history of Burkina Faso is largely the history of the ancient Mossi Kingdom. Burkina Faso - Select a village Capital: Ouagadougou Area: 274,200 km² Population: 11.6 million(December 2000 est.) Ethnic groups: Mossi, Gurunsi, Lobi, Senufo, Bobo, Mande, Abobo Gare The SOS Children's Village Abobo Gare was built in a palm grove 15 km outside the former capital of Cote d'Ivoire, Abidjan. The 2003 Global Peace Games for Children and Youth "By participating (in the Global Peace Games) we come to appreciate what can be accomplished through individual excellence, disciplined teamwork, Country Information on Burkina Faso Terrain Burkina Faso is located on a plateau sloping generally to the south and situated from 200 to 715 m in elevation. Most of Burkina Faso is flat, arid and scrubby. To the north the vegetation thins out to sandy dunes as it approaches the Sahara. Conversely, the south opens up into forests and sugar cane fields, and in the east there are woodland areas. The plateau is drained to the south by the Black Volta (Mouhoun), Red Volta (Nazinon), and White Volta (Nakanbe) rivers and to the east by small rivers connecting with the Niger; none are navigable. Climate A dry, cool season in Burkina Faso extends from November through March; a hot, dry one from March through May; and a hot, wet one from May to November. Rainfall decreases from more than 1,000 mm in the southwest to less than 250 mm in the north and is heaviest in the summer. Average temperatures vary between 21.1° C and 26.7° C.

Encompasses present-day Gambia, Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Niger, and eastern Chad See also Central Africa Eastern Africa Guinea Coast , and Southern Africa Jenne and Timbuktu . By the end of the century, Senegal emerges as France's most productive and populous colony, with important mercantile centers located at Dakar and Saint-Louis along the coast. 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.

50. African Masks African peoples often symbolize death by the colour white rather than Having conquered the indigenous peoples, the Lunda gradually assimilated with them http://www.vub.ac.be/BIBLIO/nieuwenhuysen/african-art/african-art-collection-mas

Pictures / photos / images of some MASKS and headdresses in the African tribal, antique, ritual, ethnographic, classical, "primitive" art collection (of variable age, artistic quality, and degree of authenticity) Many African societies see masks as mediators between the living world and the supernatural world of the dead, ancestors and other entities. Masks became and still become the attribute of a dressed up dancer who gave it life and word at the time of ceremonies. In producing a mask, a sculptor's aim is to depict a person's psychological and moral characteristics, rather than provide a portrait. The sculptor begins by cutting a piece of wood and leaving it to dry in the sun; if it cracks, it cannot be used for a mask. African sculptors see wood as a complex living material and believe each piece can add its own feature to their work. Having made certain the wood is suitable, the sculptor begins, using an azde to carve the main features, a chisel to work on details and a rough leaf to sand the piece. He then paints the mask with pigments such as charcoal (to give a black colour), powders made from vegetable matter or trees (for ochre/earth tones) or mineral powders like clay (to give a white colour).

Civilians were caught in the crossfire. Xenophobia emerged. Immigrants from Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria and neighboring countries found themselves under fire. The looting of shops followed. The roots of the crisis have been traced to a new brand of chauvinism which tried to make ineligible for election a popular Northern presidential candidate. Economic instability and declining economic fortunes have no doubt been among the factors contributing to the rise of political intolerance.
