Ouagadougou (English spelling)

Japanese: ワガドゥグ(英語表記)Ouagadougou
Ouagadougou (English spelling)
The capital of Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa. Population: 690,000 (1993). Located in the arid central part of the country, it is the terminus of the railway from Bijan, Côte d'Ivoire, on the Gulf of Guinea, and is a key transportation and communication hub, including roads and international air routes. It is also the country's center in terms of education and tourism, but is said to be economically inferior to Bobo-Dioulasso in the southwest of the country. This is because the surrounding arid areas only produce a limited number of agricultural products, such as groundnuts. The city's small industry is the distribution and processing of these agricultural products.

Japanese:
西アフリカの内陸国ブルキナファソの首都。人口69万(1993)。国の中央部の乾燥地帯にあり,ギニア湾岸のコートジボアールアのビジャンからの鉄道の終点で,道路,国際航空路など交通・通信の要衝である。教育や観光の面でも国の中心であるが,経済的には国の南西部のボボ・ディウラッソに劣るといわれる。それは乾燥地帯の周辺地域がラッカセイなど限られた農産物しか産出しないからである。市ではその農産物の集散と加工がわずかな産業となっている。
