Welp, I thought I had thin cotton or bamboo hats that simply look like winter hats rather than hats I'm wearing because of chemotherapy... then someone asked me what my hat was the other day and said it looked like I was covering a shaved head. I set out to find more colorful hats, because people might focus on them rather than question why I'm wearing a hat. I saw these (cotton hand woven) hats from Burkina Faso and am particularly interested in L and N (the 3rd and 4th ones)- Multicolor Woven Kufi Close-fit Men's Cotton Hat Medium | The Niger Bend | African Art, African Masks, African Jewelry, African Artifacts | Niger Bend. I don't know the symbology on the hats and/or if it would be appropriative for me to get them. I'm white and in the US. Thoughts?

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!!!!

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?

Ok so just to clarify I'm not going any time soon just asking on different countries subs because I'm bored

Which cites,towns,villages and natural bueites should I visit in Burkina Faso in the future

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!

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.

I remember hearing awhile ago that burkina faso had drafted a code for the family and of the people which included a ban on homosexuality. has this gone through yet? or is it still in limbo?

I will be flying into Ouagadougou in early October. Is there anything similar to Uber? Thanks for your help.

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?

One of my friends lives there and today is his birthday. I’d love to send him some money but I’m curious how much that’d get him.

Is this true, if so how far does it actually span and what are the punishments?

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?
