Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso holds 639 Bunkabop connections across 7281 places and 28 topics, led by sports, government, and military. France, Mali, and the United States share many connections with Burkina Faso. Between 1915 and 1916, the Volta-Bani War linked the territory to Mali as one of the most important armed oppositions to colonial government in the region. The biennial FESTIMA festival in Dédougou draws the country into international networks around traditional masks and arts.
