I certainly don't want you regretting your post herein, but do have some comments.

Burkina was once famous for trafficking in people and all the ideal circumstances that promote and harness organized crime still exist there.

As far as the incident with the gendarme goes, all he probably wanted from you was 5 bucks and you would have been well on your way.
