The president of Burkina Faso, Roch Marc Kabore, has reportedly been detained at a military camp, amidst concerns of a potential coup in the West African county.
Heavy gunfire was heard around the President's residence in the capital of Ouagadougou overnight. The government has imposed a country-wide curfew after gunfire erupted on Sunday at multiple barracks in the capital. The soldiers want their commanding officers to be fired for failing to contain a Jihadist insurgency.
