“Negotiations are underway to bring back calm and serenity,” a spokesperson for Burkina Faso's military ruler was quoted as saying.

Several hours after another coup scare in Burkina Faso, the government has yet to provide details.

Several roads in the capital have been cordoned off by officials in uniform and the national television cut off. There are suspicions that Friday’s incident could be a counter-coup as the shootings occurred on the eve of a demonstration in Bobo-Dioulasso – the country’s second-largest city. The protesters are calling for the departure of Mr Damiba.
