Fada Ngourma in Burkina Faso BURKINA FASSO burkina-faso. fada-ngourma Informations and links Fada Ngourma![]() ![]() ![]() Map Fada Ngourma Photos Fada Ngourma Population on 10-Dec-96 : 29254 ------------------------------- June 23, 2004: Porga - Fada N'Gourma Our second entry in Burkina Faso is again a really hot one!

Repeated military coups during the 1970s and 1980s were followed by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Burkina Faso's high population density and limited natural resources result in poor economic prospects for the majority of its citizens. Recent unrest in Cote d'Ivoire and northern Ghana has hindered the ability of several hundred thousand seasonal Burkinabe farm workers to find employment in neighboring countries..
