    Nouna is a town of about 20,000 inhabitants located in Burkina Faso, Africa

    According to the legend, the town of Nouna was founded by an elder of the Dafin tribe, who having spotted a water source in the wilderness, exclaimed “N’nouna diara!” (I am happy!), and that is how the place came to be called “Nouna”.
