Korhogo, the maverick, has a long tradition of political turbulence and challenge to the current system. In the early 2000s, the current series of coups d'etats took place here, with rebel groups declaring their opposition to the government.

Nowadays, things are a little peaceful - or, at least, as calm as it is possible to be in constantly revolutionary Korhogo!
