Whoa can't wait for Zimbabwe

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 "the revolutionary" as he's called here is one of the most admirable humans in history. Check him out if you're interested in Burkina Faso.

Love from Libya To Burkina faso 🇱🇾 ❤ 🇧🇫

No oil? Looks like America will not be bring Burkina Faso freedom and democracy anytime soon

Who else was watching full screen and thought their monitor died?

At the end that really was an intense moment of transition

Thomas Sankara was actually a good dude who really helped the country a lot, before being assassinated.

Forget the whip, lets all do the ouagadougou.

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.

UPDATE: Oh great, literally ONE day after I uploaded this video Burkina Faso JUST experienced a military coup and the interim leaders have been detained RIGHT before elections. Come on Burkina Faso, you couldn't even wait ONE DAY to make my video outdated in information. Thanks

I was so looking forward to Burkina Faso because Thomas Sankara is one of my heroes. He is like the West African version of Patrice Lumumba (another hero of mine). I suggest that anyone interested in great revolutionaries read (or research) up on Thomas Sankara. He was a champion of the poor and his life was living proof of that.

Thomas Sankara. Great guy.

Long live our country of Burkina Faso! Vive notre pays du Burkina Faso!

Mom: ,,Why don't you play with the child from the neighbourhood?" The neighbour child: 2:16

For a second I thought my computer was down.

Is anyone else surprised how Paul hadn't got 200,000 subs yet but creates awesome videos every time :)

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.

Proud to be African! Proud to be Burkinabé! La Patrie ou la mort nous vaincrons✊🏾

Flags: Red usually = blood Green usually = agriculture/nature

"And definitely not that offensive word that I know you're all thinking about and getting all 13-year old Japanese school-girl giggly about, BOB SAGET" - Paul 2015

I thought my connection went out when the video blacked out near the end.

The architecture looks amazing! I'd like to visit someday.

Such an intelligent man. I hated geography at school but now I wish you were my teacher. Just can't stop watching and learn!!!¡

Swedish cars, cars with pewdiepie's face slapped on it quality!

New video!!! Paul your channel is the best on youtube, you and GeographyHub should totally collaborate

OMG i cannot wait for South Africa 🇿🇦

I am Brazilian and always accompany these videos, I love geography and that way is even better !!

*Thomas Sankara Lives On!*

Thomas Sankara LIVES! Viva la revolución

Can't wait for Ghana and Nigeria! Love, love your channel!

You are an amazing youtuber and I just wanted to say thank you for doing this. I could easily tell that these video's take incredibly long to create and as a History/Geography fanatic just wanted to show you how much I love this.

Holy crap, the quality really improved from even the last video! It's really cool to see your development as a video maker as this series goes on :)

Just googled Thomas Sankara... I don't know their history but at first, he looks like a great man who tried to be "of the people, by the people and for the people"... Is my first impression false? I'd love to have few comments from someone who is from Burkina Faso

I AM ALWAYS SO AMAZED BY YOUR WORK. I have been subscribed to this channel for quite some time (since the Belgium video, if I remember correctly.) and I can honestly with my hand on my heart say I've never been this interested in Geography. My own Geography teacher besides that is a living bedtime story for my long class naps, so I am incredibly thankful that everyone behind Geography Now! boozed my interest in this subject! Thank you. :D

Holy schnikes! Both the traditional and modern architecture in Burkina Faso is ridiculously cool. I'd love a house painted with that zigzaggy geometrical pattern.

An American that doesn't completely slaughter french pronunciation... +1

Ouagadougou is almost as cool as Tegucigalpa.

Yet another great video! keep up the great work Paul! You and CGPGrey are probably my favorite youtubers - you teach important information in an amusing way that can keep people interested!

Just found this channel. I love geography and was really searching for a good channel. I'm quite pleased.

am I the only one really interested in the political systems of each country too?

2:34 that's the old Herman flag! The last time france changed their flag was the beginning of the 1800's

I just discovered this channel and I love it....thank you for making these videos! I started playing the map games on Seterra, which is making me curious about various countries.

The editing keeps getting better and better!

burkina faso is my country who else

Great video, you mention a lot of thing I didn't know and a lot of things that I didn't even know I didn't know… However, you should have highlighted the great paper Sankara played in Burkina Faso. Seriously, he was one of the best leaders in the history of humanity. I understand that this is geography, not history, but seriously, you should have mentioned at least some of his great actions for that country.

great work Mr. P B , Burkina Faso , ( Upper Volta ) video is another wonderful work, great efforts indeed . greetings from IRAQ

I love this channel so much!

The quality of the videos has improven so much! Maybe when he's half-way trough the list, he could re-master some of the bigger Names for each letter (Argentina, Austria, Brazil, and so on...) 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!

binge Wathcing geography now! :p

These videos just keep getting better and better.

Thanks for these amazing videos! Super excite for more! :D

Paul! One of your videos was shown in front my Importing/Exporting and Trading college class! Now I'm hooked to your videos! So far the only thing useful to come from that class haha.

I'm addicted to this channel. *I need help*

I am glad that you are back Barb. I hope your dad is doing well and that you are feeling ok after everything,and I like fhe episode btw :)

Wow, Paul, you've started putting out videos pretty fast now. I didn't expect this for another week or so...keep up the good work!

Amazing video! I liked the fact that you really went deeper into the ethnic groups a bit more. Best video so far in my opinion(besides Bandiaterra)

Your videos are so good and I learn a lot from them. I can't wait until you do Ethiopia and Somalia and some other red hot zones

love your videos barby!

This channel has more subs than the population of Greenland multiplied by two!! Which is amazing! Keep up the good work Paul!

4:07 the most painful part about watching an old geography now video. my ears

Could you do an update video about what happened in Burkina Faso please?

Love to Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 from Belgium 🇧🇪

Those architectures. Wow. I love to visit this place!

In future go into detail about the ancient history like the first humans in the area and historical kingdoms. I wanna learn more about the Mossi kingdom. I'm just afraid he will skip the history of African or south America nations but talk about the Romans in Italy or the Celts in Britain and barely mention the Songhai of Mali or the Nubians of Egypt and Sudan.

3:10 woah, he's psychic.

Ah, ça fait tellement plaisir, ces quelques phrases en français.! :) Keep going, you're doing great.!

loving the videos!

9:47 TOGO HAS NO EYES

Thomas Sankara is my hero!

Great vid. You have a special sense for humour which always makes me laugh :)

Best ending yet! Great video again. A country I knew very little about

So, unofficially, Burkina Faso’s flag could also represent its physical features, as follows: 🟥Red = The Sahel Region (North; red dirt). 🟩Green = The forest region (South). ⭐️Yellow Star = The gold that’s mined in the country. 🇧🇫

Barby, c-can I be your Ken?

I love this channel!

You are awesome - thank you! Just love you.

in egyptian arabic, faso means "they farted"

So if Burkina means "Honorable people" Faso means "Fatherland" so Burkina Faso = Honorable People Fatherland

Thanks you for doing this video about my country

Wow best video every time ....... and even better than previous one's

Thomas Sankara is the greatest human who ever walked in earth

2:10 Ouagadougou 😃😄😁😆

this definitely would’ve been helpful in that ONE project i had years ago in 8th grade. been years and i still remember how difficult it was to get information.

Thanks bro. I have watched all your videos.

6 children on average... Jesus

10:54 I know this was posted 6 years ago, but, if the camera ran out of space and you knew that it had only a few space left (if you knew), then why did you film it on that one? Couldn't you just buy a new one?

*This Is a very interesting channel that I love ! Everything is very well explained and we learn more thanks to you and your crew. By the way, I like the way you speak French ! I'm Gabonese, even if I prefer speaking English, and I hope you will also do a geographic course like that for my country too !*

COOL!!! Love your videos!!!

okay the first picture of ouagadougou at 3:59 reminded me of Pyongyang!!

Great Video...My mother is from Burkina Faso and loved the information.

Rip those who recently passed away in the attack this wknd in this interesting country. Thanks for this series as I came to learn more about the country after it is in the news. N

Hey Barby, I watched every video of you from the first one till the one about Bulgaria in 2 days and I love them all.I am going to do a important english presentation in 5/6 weeks (I live in germany) and I think that your channel is a good topic for it.So here is my question: Can I use screenshots from the videos for the presentation?There are only two teachers in front of me and it would make it much easier. Looking forward to new videos of you (especially germany and turkey) and just stay as you are now.I already learned a lot :D

Does the flag represent the country's geography?: red desert in the north, green forest in the south, and the big capital city in the middle

Man you are so good - so well informed !!

Normally, I think the ending would be seen as unprofessional, but cause your videos are so awesome, it was just funny and made this video more memorable than the last.

Just saw that there was a coup and new government established today, first time I have ever heard of this country. Weird since sí love geography.

better for the camera to run out of space near the end rather than in the middle :D

I absolutely love this channel! I'm pretty sure you're past that at this point, but I still have that rebrand if you're interested! If not, I would be glad to create another one. I absolutely love this channel and stay up until it's out every sunday(or Monday morning). Keep up the awesome work Paul!

Another awesome vid :3

That was a great ending
