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. Every year, several hundred thousand seasonal farm workers seek employment in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana and are adversely affected by instability in those regions.

Your Gateways Quick Links Burkina Faso Geography and Climate Between the Sahara desert and the rain forests near the western African coast, lies the Sahel, a geographic zone of about 5,000 kilometers long and 300 kilometers wide, located along the southern fringes of Africa's Sahara desert. This semi-arid region of Africa extends from Senegal on the west, through Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria and Sudan, to Ethiopia on the east. Burkina Faso sits at the edge of the Sahel, locked in by Benin, Togo and Ghana to the southeast, Ivory Coast to the south, Mali to the west and Niger to the north. About twice the size of Colorado, it is one of the smallest territories in West Africa, but one of the most heavily populated. The climate in Burkina Faso is similar to that of other Sahel countries, featuring two distinct seasons: the dry season lasts from November until May and the wet season from June through October. The hottest time of the year falls between March and June, and dusty Harmattan winds blow incessantly between the months of December and February.
