Frustration has risen in Burkina Faso in recent months due to the frequent killing of civilians and soldiers by militants

President Roch Kabore of Burkina Faso has been detained at a military camp by mutinying soldiers, Reuters reports.

This was even as soldiers demanded more support for their fight against Islamist militants. However, the government had denied that the army had seized power. Protesters came out to support the mutineers on Sunday and ransacked the headquarters of Kabore's political party. The government declared a curfew from 2000 GMT to 0530 GMT until further notice and closed schools for two days.

Good

Democracy is not good in Africa for now. All we need is a military regime to avoid more coups. African leaders are criminals that can't stop stealing their country's resources until they die. We need military anyhow leaders, especially in Nigeria and Uganda now.

Weldone ooo

That's good. They should start one in Nigeria. USAGov WhiteHouse cnni UN want other countries especially Africa to believe in democracy but they don't care to help those countries to develop. In Africa, we have only political criminals running our affairs and the west refuse

Uncalled for
