L'Observateur Paalga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
L'Observateur Paalga (1973–1984, 1991-) is the most widely read newspaper in Burkina Faso.[1] It was created 1973 by Édouard Ouédraogo, but burnt down 1984 by the Thomas Sankara regime as part of control of the media of Burkina Faso, leaving only a government paper. It was refounded in 1991 as L'Observateur Paalga (paalga means "new" in Mooré).[2]
