À propos du lieu
A bustling regional trading post built on market exchanges and artisan production.
Mossi chief Naaba Pouya established the settlement, naming it to signify hospitality and sharing in the local language. Today commercial trade dominates daily life, engaging the vast majority of local residents in wholesale exchange. Production crafts form the main urban trade sector alongside commerce. Local workshops handle textiles, carpentry, metal processing, masonry, and traditional dolo brewing.

Farming surrounds the urban core with fields of sorghum, millet, maize, and groundnuts. Market gardening clusters in surrounding villages, though local vegetable yields fall short of municipal consumption needs. Limited space prevents extensive grazing, making stall fattening of cattle and sheep standard practice. Herders driving livestock from Mali and Niger regularly traverse the area toward distant markets.
