BurkinaFaso is one of the poorest countries of what was formerly French West Africa, and each year thousands of its people seek jobs in neighboring countries, chiefly seasonal farm work in Ghana or Côte d’Ivoire.
BurkinaFaso is bounded on the north and west by Mali, on the east by Niger, and on the south by Benin, Togo, Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire.
BurkinaFaso was accused of sheltering dissident members of the Côte d’Ivoire army, while at the same time the 2 million Burkinabe immigrants in Côte d’Ivoire were being blamed for a military uprising in that country.
BurkinaFaso is one of the poorest nations in the world, with the great majority of its workers engaged in subsistence farming.
BurkinaFaso has a small mining industry that produces manganese, phosphates, and gold-bearing quartz; there are also small, and as yet largely untapped, deposits of antimony, copper, zinc, nickel, lead, bauxite, and uranium.
Invaders from present-day Ghana conquered central and E BurkinaFaso, establishing the Mossi states of Ouagadougou, Yatenga, and Tengkodogo in the center and the state of Gourma in the east.
