" Burkina Faso (that name still fascinates me for some reason). "
That's funny, because I started a small collection of modern postally used covers from there for that same reason.

Here is my topical collection of "Postally Used Covers from Small African Nations."
This is Scott #1264, the high value from the 2003 set of definitives (#1255-64).
Scott #920, from the 1991-93 definitives set (#911-922), and #952, from the 1992 Christmas issue (#951-53).
Scott #962, from the 1993 set (#962-63) issued for the 1994 soccer World Cup. The pink/rose/salmon/shrimp/buble-gum colored envelope and "Wahlbrief" denotes this as a cover to be used for mail-in ballots by absentee voters.

Very nice collection of modern covers from Burkina Faso. An Egyptian friend gave me 3 similar covers a few years back. Untill I saw yours, the only I had seen were my own 
One from 2006:
One from 2007:
And one from 2008:

But I have to admit that the modern cover from Africa I like best is this one, sent from Rwanda on 17th January 1993 to a friend who paid for the education of a Rwandese child. This was the last letter she received before the outbreak of the civil war. She never heard from the child since, pressumed to be dead

That´s true
But I think it´s possible to find covers from all African countries 
These are are covers I´ve gathered through exchanges with people who didn´t have stamps I wanted, but had some covers

Last month I received this postcard from Benin so apparently they still use their stamps in the former French colonies in Africa
It arrived in just 8 days, fairly good service in my book
