Burkina Faso’s new military leader, Captain Ibrahim TraorĂ©, has urged cabinet ministers to “move faster” to fix the country’s “urgent” problems, including an insurgency by Islamist militants.
The man he ousted in a coup on Friday has formally agreed to step down, religious and community leaders said.
They said Capt TraorĂ© had accepted Lt Col Paul-Henri Damiba’s resignation and conditions he had set.
He has gone to Togo, according to that country’s government spokesman.
