Burkina Faso braced for protests after army seizes power
Opposition parties in Burkina Faso have rejected the military's disputed bids to seize power and confirmed they will stage protests tomorrow following large unrest in the West African country.
The country's top military officials have thrown their support behind presidential guard Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida as leader of a transitional government, sidelining an earlier bid by head of the army General Honore Traore, after Blaise Comparore resigned from his presidency.
