African capital city
'''Ouagadougou''' (pronouned OOH-AH-GAH-DOO-GOO) is the capital city of [[Burkina Faso]]. Locals sometimes shorten their cities name to simply "Ouga". The official language is [[French]], since Burkina Faso (Upper Volta) was a French colony for many years.
Ouagadougou is one of the oldest capital cities in [[Sub-Saharan Africa]] and has a population of over 1.2 million people. The tropical climate has made Ouagadougu a large marketplace for tropical foods such as [[banana]]s, [[coffee]], [[silk]], and [[papaya]]s. There is a large zoo and safari not far from the city center.
