Is Burkina Faso the poorest country in Africa?

Speaking of developed countries in Europe and America, I believe many people, like Bian Xiao, can think of a 7788 even if they are disabled. But is it strange for Africa with many countries? Don't say seven or eight, I can't even remember three or four. This is closely related to their economic development. After all, economic development is naturally more concerned. But in fact, Africa's economic development in recent years is still very good. Many countries have made great breakthroughs in many aspects. Today, let's learn about Burkina Faso in Africa with Bian Xiao! Have you ever heard of this country? How much do you know about this country?

For Burkina Faso, I believe most people are strangers! Then, let's get a general understanding of the basic situation of this country first. Burkina Faso has a land area of only about 270,000 square kilometers. Although this region is insignificant in China, it is already a very big country in Africa, with many countries. The population base is also very large. But it is such a country with a population of nearly 20 million, and nearly 80% of the residents are illiterate. Can you imagine what kind of level this is? Even in the most difficult period of China's development, the number of illiterate people has never been so high. Do you know why there are so many illiterate people in Burkina Faso?

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a question of economic development. Although Burkina Faso is a relatively large country in Africa. However, its economic development is not very good, the per capita annual income is less than 100 US dollars, and the normal expenses of a family of three are even less than that of 4 yuan. The whole country urgently needs vitality to stimulate economic growth. It is naturally difficult for the local education industry to keep up. The backwardness of education and economy makes this country the poorest and most backward country in Africa.

But as far as natural resources are concerned, Burkina Faso is still very rich, with rich mineral resources, especially gold. Apart from industrial development, Burkina Faso has developed very well in recent years. Although it is still dominated by light industry, it has made remarkable progress compared with the past. Meanwhile, the number of illiterate people has increased. According to relevant statistics, in the past two years, the number of illiterate people in Burkina Faso has decreased by nearly 65,438+00%. So the potential of Burkina Faso is still good, don't you think?
