More than 1,000 people gathered in Burkina Faso’s capital Ouagadougou on Tuesday in support of a military coup that a day earlier ousted President Roch Kabore, dissolved the government, and suspended the constitution.

On Monday, soldiers announced they had overthrown Kabore who came to power in 2015, a move condemned internationally but welcomed by some at home tired of widespread insecurity, alleged corruption and deep poverty. The putchists, called the Patriotic Movement for Safeguard and Restoration , presented Kabore with a hand-written resignation letter on Monday, which he signed.

ECOWAS said in a statement on Tuesday that Kabore was forced to resign under “threat, intimidation and pressure” from the military, and it will hold an emergency summit to discuss a response in the coming days. ECOWAS has already slapped broad sanctions on neighbouring Mali where there have been two military coups since August 2020.

“ECOWAS doesn’t care about us, and the international community only wants to condemn,” said one member of the crowd, Armel Ouedraogo, in reference to West Africa’s regional political bloc. This is what we want,”
