At earlier time of the Burkinabé revolution another coat of arms showing a ''Daba'' (a traditional African ploughing instrument) and a Kalashnikov AK-47 with the motto ''La Patrie ou la Mort'' (''Fatherland or death'') was in use. The motto of Upper-Volta was ''Unité, Travail, Justice'' (''Unity, Labour, Justice''). |
