Ouagadougou, or Wagadugu, is the capital of Burkina Faso, and the administrative, communications, cultural, and economic center of the nation. It is also the country’s largest city, with a population of 3.2 million. The city’s name is often shortened to Ouaga. The inhabitants are called “ouagalais.”
The rise, or arrival from elsewhere, of radical jihadist Muslim groups has brought great turmoil to Burkina Faso. Both Christians and Muslims have been targeted and murdered by these Islamist groups. These attacks, combined with existing ethnic tensions, rebel groups, and political instability, led to not one but two military coups in 2022.
On the surface, the population of Christians in the country would seem to be influential, with 20% of the people saying that they are Christian. However, the power of the spirit world has not been broken. Some say that the nation is 50% Muslim, 20% Christian, and 100% animist. The occult shows its power even in some churches.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
