Zorgho

Zorgho lies east of Ouagadougou on the Mossi plateau, among farming villages and seasonal streams. It belongs to the country of Wogodogo, whose rulers governed through a hierarchy of chiefs and maintained ties to the older communities of the land. Fields of millet and other crops occupy the savanna around the settlement. The plateau connects the royal centre at Ouagadougou with neighbouring Mossi and Gourmantché lands farther east.

The later city of Manga lies here.
