Burkina Faso’s coup and political situation: All you need to know

Al Jazeera  

New military leader Traore says Paul-Henri Damiba was removed due to his inability to deal with a worsening armed uprising in the country. On September 30, Burkina Faso military leader President Paul-Henri Damiba was deposed in the country’s second coup in a year, as army Captain Ibrahim Traore took charge, dissolving the transitional government and suspending the constitution. On January 24, Burkina Faso’s army, led by Damiba, announced it had deposed President Roch Kabore after more than six years in power, following several days of unrest in the capital Ouagadougou. The West African regional bloc Economic Community of West African States suspended Burkina Faso from the organisation, demanding the Damiba-led government hold elections as soon as possible. On the economic front, the UN highlighted Burkina Faso, a country of 16 million people, as one of several west African nations facing an “alarming level” of hunger with the country facing the worst hunger crisis in six years with more than 630,000 people on the brink of starvation.
