Democracy returns to Burkina Faso as coup leaders back down, restore interim president
Democratic rule has been restored in Burkina Faso after the coup leaders
backed down and relinquished power. This comes 24 hours after ECOWAS
leaders led by President Buhari met in Abuja and decided to intervene in
the crisis rocking the country.
General Gilbert Diendere, who last week staged the coup in Burkina Faso,
formally handed over power to the interim Civilian president, Michel
Kafando. The handing over ceremony was witnessed by Vice President
Osinbajo and some other ECOWAS leaders
