Burkinabè Rising: the Art of Resistance in Burkina Faso | Documentary

🇧🇫A small landlocked country in West Africa, Burkina Faso is home to a vibrant community of artists, musicians, & engaged citizens who carry on the revolutionary spirit of Thomas Sankara, killed in a coup d'état led by his best friend and advisor Blaise Compaoré, who then ruled the country as an autocrat for 27 years, til a massive popular insurrection led to his removal.
✊✊🏽✊🏿Today, the spirit of resistance and political change is mightier than ever and it permeates every aspect of the Burkinabè life. It is an inspiration, not only to Africa, but to the rest of the world.

I’m sorry, but whenever I see the word Burkinabe, all I can think of is really attractive women in Burkinis. (“Burkini babe”. Get it?) I think I need professional help.

Didn't u kick Francie out? why do u still hide behind their language?

[@rimkasoubeiga3977]

Such a stupid question

[@perla5465]

Mossi is more spoken

[@yellowhat123]

French is their national language.Every country in West Africa is Multi lingual, so we need the colonial language to communicate formerly across tribes and borders for now.
I am sure that what Burkina faso kicked out was neo-Colonisation and France is the face of neo - colonisation in Burkina Faso. 🇧🇫
Congratulations to the good people of Burkina Faso.

@@yellowhat123 by the way, french has been demoted a official language from Burkina Faso. But it’s still spoken.
