Gaming in Burkina Faso?

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked all of these questions on different subreddits, simply because I am curious about how each and every single country on this planet experiences video games. I am also curious about gaming in Burkina Faso. My questions are:

What is more popular? PC or console?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s!

What do racing game fans in Burkina Faso play today?-(I get it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)

In general, what games are played there?

Thanks for your responses!!!!

How about enterprenurers launching free tv channels for students across the country where the interactive lessons may broadcast grade and topicwise. Making interesting programs like young students providing free education to poor, programs about making relevant projects in home and/or institutes, program on testing foreign grain/fruits/plants/projects on different types across country, program on implementing one-house-one-farm project in rural areas, exploring and creating local businesses and works, program on interecting expatriates to implement foreign succeccful projects in home, program on making local commnities self-sufficient, programs about competition on different things among schools, colleges, universities and uniting different communities etc. What do you think?

Does ‘prinka’ mean something in Burkina Faso?

Im currently reading the english translation of a book by a Burkinabé author and there are some phrases which can not be translated with an exact meaning in English so are left in the original language. I was wondering if ‘prinka’ is one of those terms, which the main characters’ dad repeats a couple times when complaining about an old man in the village who comes to their house. If so, what does it mean?

Hello friends, how safe is it to visit BF right now if I entered by airplane to Ouga, spent most of my time there, and traveled by road/bus outwards? I'm also considering traveing in by bus from Bamako, but I have been advised againt doing so because of instabilities outside of the capital cities.

I am a 36 male American and am trying to balance safety and economical budgeting to travel between Mali and BF. I know there are a few major bus companies that take you between the two, but they do so with military guidance. What are some of the risks as a foreigner to overlanding between the two cities? Any help is appreciated!

visit for fespaco?

hey, what do you think is it safe to visit ougadougou for fespaco in feburary next year?

I would be flying in from germany by myself, I can speak french and would just want to visit the filmfestival. Come a day early, leave a day late. I'm a woman and somali, would most likely come on my own since i dont have friends/ family there or close. Because of the changing political situtation this year and the terrorist attacks by jihadists in the country many people tell me not to go since the festival is very prominent and could be unsafe to be at.

What do regular people in Burkina Faso think about the current situation?

So as an uninformed German spectator it seems pretty good, finally kicking out the french

But my information are very limited, do people like Traore? Is the life of regular people improving? Do you like AES as alternative to ECOWAS?

How do the people on the ground, average citizens, feel about whats going on in their country right now?

I'm not from Burkina Faso, Niger or Mali and I've been trying to follow what's going on with ECOWAS and everything else 'recently'

From an outsiders perspective I think that the rejection of western exploitation is great and it seems to me that the countries are taking leaps in that regard but I'm hesitant to believe international news agencies completely just because of how they cover things in my own country.

So my question is: How do the people on the ground, average citizens, feel about whats going on in their country right now?
