Most are religiously heterogeneous, although the Fulani and Dioula communities are overwhelmingly Muslim. There are more than 60 different ethnic groups. Small Syrian and Lebanese immigrant communities reside in the two largest cities and are more than 90 percent Christian. Bobo-Dioulasso, the second largest city, is mostly Muslim. Ouagadougou, the capital, has a mixed Muslim and Christian population. Persons practice traditional indigenous religious beliefs throughout the country, especially in rural communities. Muslims reside largely in the northern, eastern, and western border regions, while Christians live in the center of the country. Statistics on religious affiliation are approximate because the majority of citizens practice traditional indigenous religious beliefs to varying degrees, and strict adherence to Christian and Muslim beliefs is often nominal. The Government also estimated that 24 percent of the population maintains exclusively traditional indigenous beliefs, 17 percent are Roman Catholic, and 3 percent are members of various Protestant denominations. The Government estimated in the 1996 census that approximately 60 percent of the population practices Islam, and that the majority of this group is Sunni. The country has an area of 105,689 square miles and a population of 14.3 million.
