Burkina Faso: leader of the Le Faso Otherwise Ablassé party Ouedraogo released. Forcefully requisitioned from the Burkinabè army at the end of December.

Aged 70, he was arrested on December 24 before being transferred to different military bases. Multiple appeals and court decisions invalidating these forced military requisitions are not respected by the Ouagadougou government, says RFI.“He wants to make it known, despite the trials, that he has kept his “  jovial nature””
