I would like to place this infobox in the article to improve the content and look of the article, but I don't want to put it in with a bunch of blank information. If anyone can add the missing information, I would greatly appreciate it. The infobox is copied from the article on Nairobi, Kenya.--Dekkanar 16:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit Attempt

I've made several changes to the article, focusing mainly on punctuation, grammar, style, cohesion, tone, wording, and spelling, but I believe it still needs the attention of someone with more experience in West Africa than mine to be sure that the historical references in particular are correct.

[edit] dodgy assertion needs to be checked

"The citizens of Ouagadougou prefer their own motorcycles and bicycles (and more recently, cars) to public transportation. The city's automobiles are generally small and inexpensively made, using a small two-stroke cycle engine."
