01:58 - Ever since 15,000 BCE, people have settled and lived here, and due to Niger, whose agriculture developed early on, Burkina Faso started farming as well around 3600 BCE. Around the 3rd century, ironware was distributed in the area, and after that, several tribal nations continued to rise and fall. Around the 11th~12th century, Mossi empire, centered around the Mossi, was established, and Mors Naba, who lived in the Ouagadougou region, was promoted as the king and a strong kingdom was established. Mossi empire once prospered, but in 1896 was defeated by the French colonial army, and became a protectorate of France. As France and Britain ended their colonial wars with an agreement in 1898, the border with Ghana was confirmed.

02:44 - As France reorganized their west African colonies in 1901, Mossi’s territory was divided into Haut Sénégal and Niger, and was later liberated as Haute-Volta. Haute-Volta again broke up into three in 1932, and until 1947, for 15 years, Yatenga was French Sudan’s, Gourma was Niger’s, and the rest was Ivory Coast’s. In 1958, Haute-Volta became an autonomous republic within the French community, and announced their official liberation as a republic two years later, in 1960. As the first president of Haute-Volta Republic, UDV’s leader Maurice Yameogo, who led the liberation movement, took the office. Although it attained independence as Haute-Volta, which means upper Volta river, as Maurice Yameogo became autocratic and the economy worsened, a coup happened in 1966, 6 years after the independence, changing the regime.

After a year, Thomas Sankara re-named the country as Burkina Faso, which translates to ‘the land of the honest people’, set new national anthem and a flag, and started spearheading socialist economic policies. After 4 years of his regime, Burkina Faso’s agricultural production increased by twofold, and the people’s lives became richer. However, in October 1987, Blaise Compaoré, who was Sankara’s companion, staged another military coup with the backing of the United States, assassinated Sankara, and took over as a president.

04:22 - He stopped all of Sankara’s socialist policies, pushed for authoritarian rule, and continuously won all elections in 1991, 1998, 2005, and 2010 as a four-term president. However, he was overthrown due to a protest in 2014 that refused his continued terms, and in November 2015, Roch Marc Christian Kaboré was elected, and a civilian government was set up for the first time. 3.
