If the situation remained confused and tense in Burkina Faso one day
after soldiers at several army bases rebelled, protesters gathered in
Ouagadougou in support of the country’s mutinous troops. Marching
with flags and chanting, people cheered in favour of the soldiers who
arrested President Roch Marc Christian Kabore on Monday, January 24
and detained him in army barracks a day after staging an uprising.
On Monday, hooded troops were posted in front of the national
broadcaster RTB, as the population awaited official reports. Some
protesters were seen setting up makeshift roadblocks on several main
streets before being dispersed by police.
