Burkina Faso (also known as Burkina) is one of the three landlocked countries in West Africa. The name itself can be translated "men of integrity," from the Moré language, and "Faso" means "father's house" in Dioula. Independence from France came in 1960. The 11,946,065 Burkinabè belong to two major West African cultural groups--the Voltaic and the Mandé. The Voltaic are far more numerous and include the Mossi, who make up about one-half of the population. Additionally, about 5,000 Europeans live in Burkina Faso. Approximately 50% of the population is Muslim; Christians account for about 30%, and followers of traditional African religions (typically animism of various forms) make up about 20%. Many Christians incorporate elements of animism into their religious practices. Burkinabe cuisine is traditionally West African and the country's staples are peanuts, millet and sorghum. Meat is little used, but fish is a common ingredient as are the country's fruit: bananas, avocados, grapefruits, mangos, papayas, coconut and plantains. The most important local vegetables are: cassava, Eggplant, maize, okra, sweet potatoes, onions, tomatoes, turnip and yams. |
