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.
Oahab is a small city on the eastern border of Burkina Faso, near the border with Niger, under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Region. Located in the Sahelian eco-region, it has an arid climate, with a remarkable savannah climate, less than 800 millimeters of annual precipitation, and distinct wet and dry seasons. The local economy is dominated by traditional agriculture and animal husbandry, with residents mostly engaged in millet and sorghum cultivation and goat and sheep farming, and is a distribution center for agricultural products from neighboring villages. Despite its relatively weak infrastructure, Wahab maintains the simple appearance of a traditional West African town, with regular markets attracting people from the surrounding area to trade, and handicrafts and traditional food with local characteristics. As a regional transportation node, it connects Burkina Faso to Niger for part of its cross-border trade and serves as a window into local tribal culture and Sahelian village life.
