In Burkina Faso, the head of the ruling junta, Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba, who refused his dismissal announced by a young captain, Ibrahim Traoré, finally agreed to resign on Sunday after two days of tensions marked by demonstrations anti-French.

The new self-proclaimed president of Burkina Faso promises to expedite current affairs until the appointment of a new civilian or military transitional president.

A period of political uncertainty is beginning in Burkina Faso.
