Ougadougou

Do you know where Ouagadougou is?  Seems to me that most people here in New England do not know.

I just checked with the two news hounds in my family, and they didn't know.  Here we are, Americans, who supposedly love freedom and democracy, yet we didn't even notice when the people of Burkina Faso burned down their parliament building last week.

I noticed because I was getting music and news from RFI : Radio France.  If you did not know anything about Ougadougou, capital city of Burkina Faso, then you need to read this from the BBC:
