BURKINA-POLITICS-CRISIS

(From L) African Union's special envoy to Burkina Faso Edem Kodjo, Senegal's President Macky Sall, Togo's President Faure Gnassingbe and President of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission Kadre Desire Ouedraogo attend a meeting with Burkina Faso's political, religious and traditional leaders, and members of the military, in Ouagadougou on November 11, 2014. The army, which took power of Burkina Faso after president Blaise Compaore's exit following a popular uprising in response to his bid to extend his 27-year rule, is under heavy international pressure to quickly hand over to a civilian government. Sall, an emissary of the west African regional bloc ECOWAS, was in the Burkina Faso capital Ouagadougou to try and facilitate a transition plan, and voiced hope that the army and civil groups would on November 11 approve a framework for a transitional government after the ouster of the country's longserving ruler.
