The Moro-Naba Ceremony takes place every Friday around 07:00 in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso.
The Moro-Naba wears red and appears with a horse as if prepared for war.
A cannon fires, the most senior chiefs pledge allegiance, and the Moro-Naba leaves before reappearing in white, as if making peace.
Doolo, the traditional beer, and kola nut drinks are distributed, after which the Moro-Naba holds court.
The ceremony is said to represent the Moro-Naba's ministers dissuading him from going to war.
