Burkina Faso’s President, Roch Marc Christian Kabore, was detained by mutinying soldiers, security officials said, with troops leading the apparent coup

ADVERTISEMENT

Kabore has led Burkina Faso since being elected in 2015 after a popular uprising overthrew longtime President Blaise Compaore, who was in power for nearly three decades. Kabore was reelected in November 2020 for another five-year term but frustration has been growing at his inability to stem the spread of violence across the country.

“We want adequate resources for the battle” against armed groups, a soldier from the Sangoule Lamizana base said in a voice recording received by AFP. Another analyst said the Kabore government was overstretched, but it is unlikely the mutiny will change anything.
