São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Dassa is a town in west-central Burkina Faso, part of the Boucle du Mouhoun region, located on the southern edge of the Sahelian zone, with a predominantly savannah climate and distinct wet and dry seasons. With a population of about 50,000, the economy is based on traditional agriculture, with millet, corn and peanuts in abundance, and handicrafts such as weaving and ceramics have been passed down for a long time. The town is small but retains a strong sense of traditional West African life, with regular markets at the heart of trading and socializing, as well as ancient indigenous villages and natural landscapes scattered around the area, making it a tranquil window to experience Burkina Faso's indigenous culture.
