Burkina Faso has joined the ranks of several countries in the region that are now ruled by military juntas.

Chad is also ruled by a junta led by Mahamat Idris Debbie Itno, an army general who took power in April last year after his father – the former leader of the Sahel state was killed on the battlefield.

In Guinea, Conde was ousted after months of growing discontent, including deadly protests against his rule.
As a reason for the capture of power in Mali the army pointed to the “trampling” n and civil rights, as well as widespread corruption.
