Ouahigouya in Burkina Faso BURKINA FASSO burkina-faso. ouahigouya Informations and links Ouahigouya Map Ouahigouya Photos Ouahigouya Population on 10-Dec-96 : 52193 ------------------------------- Ouahigouya is the most important town in northern Burkina Faso. It is situated 182km north-west of Ouagadougou. The city was founded in 1757 as the capital of Yatenga, but was destroyed in 1825 and repeatedly attacked from the 1870s to the 1890s, until the French began rebuilding around a fort from 1896. In the Christmas War of 1985, the city's marketplace was bombed by Malian forces, almost 100 people being killed. Features of Ouahigouya include Kaba Kango's tomb, the Yatenga Naba's compound and an artificial lake. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) achieved independence from France in 1960. 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..
