    “Ou” in Ouagadougou is pronounced “W” (/w/) afaik, since it’s a french romanisation and french doesn’t use “W” in general.

      Wagadougou is cool as a pronunciation, but not as cool as Ouagadougou 😔

    Is this where the rich people live, or does everyone get a place like this?

      By the layout and visible amenities, I’d guess this to be middle-class? I doubt it’d be quite rich. The rich in every country tend to be somewhat more… ostentatious.

      It’s very common for houses in this region to be painted like this though.
