Description
The Lobi migrated into Burkina Faso from present-day Ghana around 1770, and many of them crossed the border into Contemporary Côte d'Ivoire over the next hundred years or so in search of uncultivated lands. Although Lobi villages are often very independent and so politically disorganized, they managed to put up a strong resistance to French colonialization.
