Princess Yennega, fleeing from her father, met a royal hunter, Rialé, and their son, Ouedraogo, became the ancestor of the Mossi. In the 15th century, Ouagadougou (then called *Wogodogo*) became the capital of the Mossi Empire under the reign of Naba Niandéfo. The city was organized around the palace of the Mogho Naaba, the supreme leader of the Mossi. In 1896, the French conquered the city, destroyed it, then rebuilt it in 1919 as the capital of Upper Volta. The construction of the railway to Abidjan in 1954 stimulated its demographic growth. Today, Ouagadougou is a cultural hub, known for the FESPACO (Pan-African Film Festival) and traditional ceremonies such as the Moro-Naba Ceremony. However, the city faces modern challenges: rapid urbanization, social inequalities, and terrorist threats. Despite this, Ouagadougou remains a symbol of resilience, blending Mossi traditions with modern aspirations.
