NFT: If you were planning a trip to Burkina Faso, don't go.

There's been a military coup.

After the coup was launched, the new junta government suspended the government, parliament, and constitution. National borders were shut down and the junta imposed a nationwide curfew between 21:00 GMT to 05:00 GMT.
Crap.

"You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia (or West Africa)"
I've already been there...

years ago when my daughter was a missionary teacher...one of the poorest countries in the world...but the people were very friendly and it was a great trip...

I've said this many many times since I went...if our teenagers could spend just a week there, many of the problems we face in this country would be resolved...
