Bokin

Understand

Located at the center of the Mossi Plateau, Bokin is a strictly Moore village, with the occasional Fulfulde intruder. Bokin has lots of millet and people and not much else. If Gaoua is the armpit of Burkina Faso, then Bokin is its hole.

Bokin is the home of former president.

Bokin is also home to the finest collection of Burkinabè fous/folles. These include but are not limited to:

The Passport Folle

The Digging Fou

The Muppet Fou

The Traveling Fou

The Bad Fou

The Prospector

Mr. Congeniality

The Toothy Fou

The Old Fou Who Just Sits On a Log and Stares At You

The Topless Folle
