Burkina Faso: You census people are evil!

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Burkina Faso, Citizen Media, Development

A conversation showing mistrust of census in Burkina Faso [1] from Voices in the Desert: It was Samba who started the argument. He downed his shot-glass of tea (traditionally ‘bitter like death’) and turned to Idi. ‘Onon yimbe resonsmon mbooda,’ he declared. ‘You census people are evil.’
Idrissa looked hurt. ‘Why do you say that?’
