Burkina Faso : road trip 2014 - 2015
Road Trip de mi-novembre 2014 à mi-janvier 2015 à travers le Burkina Faso. Nous avons visité l''Est, l'Ouest et le Sud du pays. Seul le Nord ne l'a pas été, les routes étant fermées aux étrangers (aux blancs) à cause des risques d'enlèvement avec la frontière du Mali.
Je suis arrivé dans le pays 2 semaines après la révolution civile, le peuple s'étant soulevé contre le gouvernement de Blaise Compaoré. Mon ami Xavier était déjà sur place depuis 3 semaines.
Merci à tous ceux qui nous ont aidé, orienté, guidé, en passant par Abga, Serge, Douki, Booba (pas le rapeur, non non) Bambi (là aussi, c'est pas une biche hein :p), Jacques, le vieux père et toute la famille. Et évidemment un grand merci à Chloé, Rémy, Natou et Tac qui nous ont hébergé à Ouagadougou, la capitale.
