Burkina Faso military leader announces second coup for the year

A group of soldiers in Burkina Faso has carried out a coup, the second this year.

A statement read out on national television says army captain Ibrahim Traore has deposed the military ruler Paul-Henri Damiba.

The announcement capped a day that began with gunfire near a military camp in the capital Ouagadougou, an explosion near the presidential palace, and interruptions to state television programming.

French-colonized countries have serious problems. In this same country, they murdered Sankara, the best leader ever in African history.

We must have civilian administration without France being involved. Dambaya must go ever since he allowed Blaise Kambaore to come to Burkina Faso and leave again. Kambaore must be jailed.
