The President of Burkina Faso, Blaise
Campaore has resigned from office following
yesterday's massive protest by people who
were opposed to the elongation of his 27
years tenure. In a statement released today,
Campaore said his seat was vacant and urged
his people to conduct an election in the next
90 days.
Mr Compaore had earlier said he would
remain in power until a transitional
government had completed its work in 2015, a
position the opposition parties and the army
refused, forcing him to resign from power. His
whereabouts is currently unknown.
In the meantime, Bukina Faso's army chief
Nabere Honore Traore has taken over power
and has instituted a transitional body that
would conduct elections for the seat of the
president in the next 90 days.
