[Breeze] Burkina Faso develops its historical process and the country's economy, as well as its culture

introduction

Burkina Faso was once colonized. The country gained independence in 1960 and became a member of la Francophonie and the Economic Community. Burkina Faso has many local languages.

Burkina Faso's economy is dominated by agriculture, livestock and mining, with the most important exports including cotton, gold and manganese. Although Burkina Faso is a relatively poor country, it has a lot of natural heritage, including the ancient Moses necropolis, the scenic Salungo and rare wildlife.

Burkina Faso's social structure and ethnic diversity are also characteristic of the country. Due to poverty and low levels of education, women and children in the country face many social challenges.

I. History of Burkina Faso

Around the 15th century BC, when the region was made up of different tribes and kingdoms. A century later, the kingdom of Moses rose and unified the region.

In the late 19th century, European powers began to expand into Africa and placed Burkina Faso under the French colonial empire. The division of Burkina Faso into two colonies, Upper Volta and Lower Volta, also led to a certain degree of economic and social development in the region

After the end of World War II, Burkina Faso gradually moved towards independence. In 1947, the first political party, the Progress Party of Burkina Faso, was formed. On 5 August 1960, Burkina Faso declared its independence as an autonomous republic.

II. Remains of the Kingdom of Moses and the Sultanate

The Kingdom of Moses and the Sultanate Empire are two important empires in the history of Burkina Faso that have left some impressive remains. The kingdom of Moses was founded in the 11th century AD and ruled over present-day Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.

The Sultanate was founded in the 14th century and ruled over areas such as present-day Burkina Faso and Mali. The empire made remarkable progress culturally, technologically, and politically. The most famous relic of the Sultanate is the city of Lovell in Siwe, an ancient stone-walled castle considered one of the capitals of the Sultanate.

3. Characteristics of music, dance and handicrafts

Traditional music in Burkina Faso uses drum and string instruments such as bala, knife and whistle. These instruments combine to create a cheerful, lively atmosphere that complements the beautiful lyrics.

Burkina Faso's traditional dance styles are varied, including toilet dance and Musk dance. Often combined with music and singing, these dances have a strong performative and folk traditional color.

Traditional handicrafts in Burkina Faso include wood carvings, copper carvings, fabrics and jewelry. The most popular of these is textiles, which are made using traditional hand-weaving techniques and are one of the most important cultural symbols of Burkina Faso.

Geography and natural resources

Basic information on Burkina Faso's geographical location, area, population, etc

Burkina Faso, located in West Africa, is the 70th largest country in Africa. The population is about 21.5 million people, more than 60% of whom live in rural areas. Burkina Faso is spoken in many other minority languages, as well as Mohr and Dula.

Second, the natural environment and climate characteristics

Burkina Faso is located in the arid zone of sub-Saharan Africa, and the whole country is mostly highland and hilly, with flat terrain and altitudes between 200 and 300 meters. The climate of the country is savannah, with relatively high temperatures throughout the year and large temperature differences between day and night.

The maximum temperature can reach 45 ° C, the humidity is extremely low, and there are many sunny days; During the rainy season, the temperature decreases slightly, but the humidity increases, accompanied by violent storms. Because Burkina Faso is located in the arid zone south of the Sahara, sandstorms are quite common, and wind and sand weather has a serious impact on agricultural production and people's health.

Third, the development status of agriculture, animal husbandry and mining

Burkina Faso is a predominantly agricultural country, with agriculture, livestock and mining being the country's three pillar industries. About 75 per cent of Burkina Faso's population is engaged in agricultural production, which mainly includes cotton, groundnuts, rice, maize and wheat.

Burkina Faso is rich in animal husbandry, with dairy cows, sheep and donkeys being the most common. Livestock not only provides jobs, but also brings protein and other nutrients to the local population. Burkina Faso is rich in mineral resources, with gold, iron ore and manganese ore reserves being the largest.

Due to the unstable political and economic environment, the development and investment of mining in the country are relatively lagging, but with the government's policy adjustments and the increase in external investment, the development prospects of this sector are gradually improving.

Author's opinion:

The country is a backward economy with agriculture and mining as its main industries, while tourism is also gradually developing.

Burkina Faso's political environment is relatively unstable, and the government often faces challenges from internal forces, including anti-government armed groups. The country also has a range of social problems, such as poverty, human rights, low levels of health care and education.
