Republican Party for Liberty
Political party in Burkina Faso / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Republican Party for Liberty (French: Parti Républicain pour la Liberté, PRL) was a political party in Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso). The PRL was founded in 1959 by Nazi Boni as a reaction to the attempts by the Voltaic Democratic Union to create a one-party state. Boni built his new party largely out of the ashes of the defunct African Regroupment Party (PRA).
