Please answer the following question: How safe is Burkina Faso for tourists coming from Spain?

Burkina Faso presents certain safety concerns for tourists, including those from Spain. While Spain ranks 22nd out of 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, Burkina Faso lacks specific data for such assessments. According to the Global Peace Index, Burkina Faso is ranked 146th out of 160 countries, indicating a significantly lower safety level compared to Spain, which ranks 23rd. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Spain is 0.6 per 100,000 people, while Burkina Faso has a higher rate of 1.3. The Global Organized Crime Index also highlights various crime indices, with Burkina Faso scoring worse in areas such as arms trafficking (8.0) and resource crime (8.5) compared to Spain.
