According to wikipedia,Burkina Faso formely Upper Volta, is a landlocked country in West Africa around 274,200 square kilometres (105,900 sq mi) in size. It is surrounded by six countries: Mali to the north; Niger to the east; Benin to the southeast; Togo and Ghana to the south; and Ivory Coast to the southwest. Its capital is Ouagadougou. As of 2014, its population is estimated at just over 17.3 million.

The Anti-government protesters have set their parliament ablaze to forced the government to at least temporarily scrap a vote on constitutional amendments that would allow President Blaise Compaore to extend his 27-year rule.

President Blaise Compaore took power in a coup in 1987, and has won four disputed elections since then.Why are Africans Greedy when they are in power?Picture Credit:BBC.
