Seno : This region (13°21'27.42"N, 0°45'11.81"E) faces a border dispute between Burkina Faso and Niger, which has been submitted to the International Court of Justice. However, there is no military tension between the two countries.
Remarks:
There are few irrigated crops areas in Burkina Faso. The main one is located between the Black Volta river and the border with Mali.
There are very few bare rock areas and stony desert. These areas are located in the North of the country, on and very close to the borders with Mali and Niger.
The only built-up area corresponds to Ouagadougou outskirts.
