Burkina Faso president summons military chiefs amid foiled coup

The Burkina Faso junta leader Capt Ibrahim Traoré has urgently summoned the military chiefs to Ouagadougou amid attempted coup.

This secret meeting, described as “highly strategic,” follows a deranged putch attempt involving active soldiers and fugitives. The intelligence has revealed disturbing links between the military and armed groups, plunging the country on maximum security alert.

Among the suspects: Lieutenant Abdrahmane Barry and Captain Jouani Compaoré. Authorities are continuing investigations to prevent any destabilization as the country is already fighting a jihadist uprising. The government shows a firm will to protect the nation at all costs.
