Overview

โ€บ

A West African nation with a rich musical tradition, currently facing high security risks in several regions. It is a country of deep-rooted traditions and warm hospitality, but the security situation has deteriorated significantly in recent years due to the threat of terrorism. For nomads, the infrastructure is limited, with unreliable internet and power outside major urban centers like Ouagadougou. The extreme heat and high security risks make it a destination that is currently not recommended for most travelers and remote workers.
