Text: Immigration
People immigrate for various reasons: some are forced to leave their countries because of poverty or political crisis; others are simply attracted by adventure and better life.
Immigrants face new realities: they have to adapt themselves to the climate and to the local populations' habits, customs and food. The more they adapt themselves to this new way of life, the easier life becomes to them because they integrate into the host communities and share their joys and difficulties.
Over the recent years, thousands of families have been forced to come back to Burkina Faso, because of the political instability in Côte d'Ivoire. In fact, after years of peaceful cohabitation between Burkinabe immigrants and the populations of Côte d'Ivoire, the Burkinabe were obliged to leave everything and go back to their country. Therefore, they abandoned farms, houses and other businesses behind them.
