that Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba and his brothers in arms, grouped within the MPSR, the Patriotic Movement for Safeguarding and Restoration, snatched the power in the hands of Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, with the aim of reconquering the parts of the territory occupied by armed terrorist groups and putting an end to bad governance.

More than four weeks after the coup d'etat, understood, tolerated and accepted by national opinion, what can we learn from the first steps of the new masters of Faso?
