More than 1,000 people gathered in Burkina Faso's capital Ouagadougou in support of a coup that a day earlier ousted President Roch Kabore, dissolved government, suspended the constitution and closed borders
The putchists, called the Patriotic Movement for Safeguard and Restoration , presented Kabore with a hand-written resignation letter on Monday, which he signed, according to numerous sources who shared the letter with Reuters and verified its authenticity.
The United States, the United Nations, regional political bloc ECOWAS and the G5 group of Sahel nations all condemned the coup. A military-led interim government said this month that it planned to hold on to power until December 2025 - nearly four years after it initially agreed to hold democratic elections - prompting ECOWAS to close borders with Mali and cut it off from financial markets.
After nine years, France is in the process of drawing down its force of thousands of soldiers in the region.
