    Maybe interesting to know: Thomas Sankara was the one who renamed the country from upper volta to Burkina Faso. He also achieved food self-sufficienty, was the first head of state to promote women's rights and much more

    Thomas Sankara was a brilliant leader. Hell, along with Red Rosa, he's one of the few that even Tankies like. Frankly, Sankara was incredible. He prioritized Woman's rights. He banned female genitalia Mutilation, Forced Marriage, Polygamy, and lived in realitive squalor; donating much of his profits to the poor, taking only what he needed. He worked with the people, and helped the poor. A brilliant figure.

    I'm Burkinabé and I found your video quite accurate. A few precisions tho.. Mandeka and Bambara are almost the same. it's a langage spoken in the West of Burkina, in Mali, Ivory Coast, Guinea... with little variation depending on the region. And football (wich you call soccer) is still the most popular sport by far. no one watches rugby over here. The political transition was troubled by a military coup that lasted only two weeks after the people and most of the army opposed to it. so the elections were held in December instead of November, and won by Roch Kabore, a former parliament speaker.

I know is a lot to ask, and it would be a long video, but he could do 1 minute per nation or something like that AND IT WOULD BE REALLY AWESOME!

    +SuperQuiMan Definately Agree! So much production improvement since the Afgahnistan video. Afgahnistan could definately do with a remake, or an update, because there is so much to know about that amazing country. Even though the production quality of that video may not have been as good, it set out the lay out and standard for all the following vids. So it was still a great start, but yes, totally do remakes and updates. Love this channel.
