Ouagadougou Facts:
Population on 10-Dec-96 : 709736
"Ouagadougou (WAH-GAH-doo-goo) is the capital of Burkina Faso. It is the country's largest city, with a population of 960,116 (2000) and is the communications, cultural and economic centre as well as the administrative centre. Its name is often shortened to Ouaga. The city is roughly in the centre of the country (12.4? N 1.5? W). Its primary industries are food processing and textiles. Ougadougou is served by an international airport, rail links to Abidjan in C?te d'Ivoire and to Kaya in the north of Burkina, and a highway to Niamey, Niger. The University of Ouagadougou, founded in 1974, was the country's first institution of higher education. The city has few major modern buildings, excepting the headquarters of the West African Central Bank, and the old Ouagadougou Central Mosque remains one of the tallest and most significant buildings. The city hosts the annual FESPACO African film festival. In part as a result, there are many cinemas, alongside nightclubs and French, American and Zaka cultural centres. There is also the biennial SIAO craft festival, which claims to be the largest in Africa." |
