Great info from Louis.

I looked up safety concerns with traveling in Burkina Faso and found the following:

1. Burkina Faso is one of safest countries in West Africa. However, be aware of thieves in the big city. Violent assault is rare. Pickpockets and purse snatchers are something to watch out for in big cities, especially in Ouagadougou, where it is recommended not to carry a bag with you when at all possible.

2. Do not travel to Burkina Faso due to terrorism, crime, and kidnapping. Country Summary: Terrorist groups continue plotting attacks in Burkina Faso. Terrorists may conduct attacks anywhere with little or no warning.Jun 5, 2020

Interesting that Google had two opposite reports.
