	Burkina Faso HISTORY
		Throughout the colonial period, the traditional political structure of the Mossi was retained, and the moro naba of Ouagadougou was regarded by the French as the emperor of the Mossi.
		Burkina Faso continued its support of Liberian insurgent Charles Taylor and his NPFL despite a West-Africa-wide deployment of forces—ECOMOG—in Liberia to help resolve the lingering and bloody civil war there.
		Burkina Faso refused to contribute forces to ECOMOG, despite international pressure, until 1995, when the Compaoré regime announced it was satisfied with the cease-fire accord signed that year in Nigeria.

	Burkina Faso
		Burkina Faso was an important economic region for the Songhai Empire during the 15th and 16th centuries.
		Burkina Faso has a primarily tropical climate with two very distinct seasons: the rainy season with between 600 and 900 mm (24-35 inches) of rainfall, and the dry season during which the harmattan blows, a hot dry wind from the Sahara.
		A relatively dry tropical savanna, the Sahel extends beyond the borders of Burkina Faso, from the Horn of Africa to the Atlantic Ocean, and borders the Sahara to its north, and the fertile region of the Sudan to the South.

	GREEN PARTY : Encyclopedia Entry
		Formally organized political parties (and political movements) based on the Four Pillars of the Green Party and similar value systems are referred to as Green Parties (capitalized) in the rest of this article; on the other hand, green parties (lower case) includes parties that share only parts of this common value system.
		Many people also confuse Green Parties with Greenpeace, a global NGO prominent in the ecology movement, which like the Green political movement was founded in the 1970s, and shares some green goals and values, but works with different methods and is not organized as a political party.
		The distinction is very often made between "green parties" (generally spelled in lowercase) in a general sense of emphasizing environmentalism, and specific organized political parties with the name "Green Party" (capitalized) that have grown up around a statement of principles called the Four Pillars and the consensus decision making process built on them.

	ELECTIONS-BRAZIL: Women Want to Change Rules of the Game
		In a list of 168 countries classified by the Inter-Parliamentary Union according to the proportion of women in the legislature, Brazil ranks 122nd, with the lowest proportion in Latin America -- 9.1 percent -- similar to Haiti and far outstripped by Cuba and Argentina, which lead the region with 36 and 33.6 percent, respectively.
		But the decisive reform needed to expand women's representation in Congress is the adoption of a closed-list system in which voters vote for party lists, rather than for individual candidates, and parties determine the placement of candidates on their lists.
		Women in politics today are still somewhat isolated from one another, and more dialogue is needed between female city councilors, state legislative assembly members, national legislators and executive branch officials, and with the various councils on the rights of women, she maintained.

	NDI - National Democratic Institute
		This created a political crisis between those Congolese party leaders who claim that the Commission Electorale Indépendante (Independent Electoral Commission, CEI) overstepped its authority by scheduling elections after the June 30 deadline and others who argue that the new constitution empowers the country's transitional institutions to remain in place until a new government is elected.
		Other minor parties (19 in total) have threatened to suspend their involvement in the election if complaints about voter rolls and voter cards are not addressed immediately by the CEI.
		Also, the open list electoral system is likely to produce a severely fractious legislature given the country's 250 political parties and hundreds of independent candidacies.
