My first instinct for the metal export was uranium just because that's a big thing in Mali next door.

In Burkina Faso Mossi would normally refer to the ethnicity while the language is referred to as Moré.

According to the Oxford Dictionary of English the language is either spelt More or Mooré.

feels slightly odd for the last question to have to supply his first name, when it’s just a common first name and not what he’d be referred to as. should this be changed?

Thomas Sankara is one of my socialist heroes, so thank you for including him. Shame that only 19% knew his first name.

So I'll be honest, I had never heard of him, but after a little bit of research, I find his contributions to be extremely impressive, especially considering his short presidency. It really is a shame that he was killed. It appears that Burkina Faso might have been a very different country now if he had survived.

Why do these quizzes always have like half the answers as “bordering countries”. Surely there are some interesting questions actually pertaining to “Burkina Faso” we could come up with….
